Add Subscriber with PHP

Hi,

It sure is possible via our API.

Good luck!

Hello –

I have tried the following code but I cannot get it to work. Could you please point me in the right direction?

<?php

include ‘/path/to/wp-content/plugins/mailpoet/lib/API/API.php’;

//$subscriber_data = array(
// ’email’ => ‘[email protected]’,
// ‘first_name’ => ‘MyFirstName’,
// ‘last_name’ => ‘MyLastName’
// ’email’ => sanitize_text_field($_POST[’email’]),
// ‘first_name’ => sanitize_text_field($_POST[‘first_name’]),
// ‘last_name’ => sanitize_text_field($_POST[‘first_name’])
//);

$subscriber = “[email protected]”; // you can also pass a subscriber ID
$list = 2; // you can get available list IDs by using the \MailPoet\API\API::MP(‘v1’)->getLists(); method

try {
$subscriber = \MailPoet\API\API::MP(‘v1’)->subscribeToList($subscriber, $list);
} catch(Exception $exception) {
return $exception->getMessage();
echo “failed”;
}
?>

Many thanks,

Neil.

Re,

Is this a standalone code or is it loaded by WordPress? In case of the former, it won’t work – the plugin needs to be fully initialized.

MailPoet Team.

Hello –

It is standalone php code, so I suppose it will not work…

In that case, what are the mysql database actions performed by the API when a new subscriber is added to a list?

I can see:

INSERT into mailpoet_subscribers
INSERT into mailpoet_subscriber_segment
(INSERT into mailpoet_subscriber_custom_field)

Which mysql tables do I need to update in order to ensure that the user is sent a “Welcome” message when he / she is subscribed to a list?

Best regards,

Neil.

Neil,
You’re one step ahead of me.
I would not recommend trying to do direct database inserts: I have done this in the past for mailpoet V2 but it’s a nuisance to maintain.

What the plugin author was hinting is that you did not initialise mailpoet.
Perhaps doing this at the beginning of your PHP will help:
require_once( “../wp-load.php” );
of course wherever you wp-load.php is actually situated.

Hello –

I have the following but it is not working correctly:

<?php

require_once( “/path/to/httpdocs/wp-load.php” );

$mp_subscriber_data = array(
’email’ => ‘[email protected]’,
‘first_name’ => ‘John’,
‘last_name’ => ‘Doe’,
);

$mp_list = 2; // you can get available list IDs by using the \MailPoet\API\API::MP(‘v1’)->getLists(); method

$mp_options = array(
// default: true
“send_confirmation_email” => “false”,
// default: true
“schedule_welcome_email” => “false”,
);

try {
$mp_subscriber = \MailPoet\API\API::MP(‘v1’)->subscribeToList($mp_subscriber_data, $mp_list, $mp_options);
//$mp_subscriber = \MailPoet\API\API::MP(‘v1’)->subscribeToList($mp_subscriber, $mp_list);
} catch(Exception $exception) {
return $exception->getMessage();
}
?>

I have the following error:

PHP Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /path/to/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/mailpoet/lib/Models/Subscriber.php on line 31

Running it on the commnd line with:

php script_name.php

Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Regards,

Neil.
