Integrating the Direct Mail Manager API using the PHP SDK package

Introduction

Direct Mail Manager is a powerful tool for creating and managing direct mail campaigns. Integrating it into your platform can help you streamline your marketing efforts and provide a more seamless experience for your users. One of the easiest ways to integrate Direct Mail Manager into your platform is by using the PHP SDK package. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of integrating Direct Mail Manager using the PHP SDK package.

 

Installing the PHP SDK Package

Before you begin integrating Direct Mail Manager into your platform, you’ll need to install the PHP SDK package.

To install the PHP SDK, you need to be using Composer in your project. For more details about Composer and how to install it see https://getcomposer.org/doc/.

composer require directmailmanager/php-dmm-api

The package (directmailmanager/php-dmm-api) is not tied to any specific library that sends HTTP messages. Instead, it uses Httplug to let users choose whichever PSR-7 implementation and HTTP client they want to use.

If you just want to get started quickly you should run the following command:

composer require directmailmanager/php-dmm-api php-http/curl-client 

This is basically what the metapackage (directmailmanager/php-dmm-api) provides.

This will install the library as well as an HTTP client adapter that use Guzzle as a transport method (provided by Httplug).You do not have to use those packages if you do not want to. You may use any package that provides php-http/async-client-implementation and http-message-implementation.

Authenticating with the Direct Mail Manager API

Once you’ve installed the PHP SDK package, you’ll need to authenticate with the Direct Mail Manager API. This will allow you to access the API and perform actions such as creating campaigns and sending direct mail. To authenticate with the API, you’ll need to obtain an API key from the Direct Mail Manager website. Once you have your API key, you can use it to authenticate with the API using the PHP SDK package.

 

Integrating Direct Mail Manager into Your Platform

With the PHP SDK package installed and authenticated with the Direct Mail Manager API, you’re now ready to integrate Direct Mail Manager into your platform. The PHP SDK package provides a variety of functions for interacting with the Direct Mail Manager API, including creating campaigns, managing contacts, and sending direct mail. You can use these functions to build custom integrations that suit your specific needs. To learn about the DMM Api, please see the API documentation.
