Send love, not war. This version of cupid can only work with ET SOAP API with s4.

Usage

Add cupid initializer to your config/initializers and now there only two parameters to configure:

Cupid.configure do |config|
  config.username = 'username'
  config.password = 'password'
  config.account  = 'default_client_id'
end

After that you can create Cupid::Session object and do some stuff through it:

# Creating session
et_translator = Cupid::Session.new

# Retrieving folders for not default account (your_account_id can be nil - default account on ET)
folders = et_translator.retrieve_email_folders

# Retrieving email copies for not default account (your_account_id can be nil - default account on ET)
copies = et_translator.retrieve_email_copies(name)

# Retrieving emails from list for not default account (your_account_id can be nil - default account on ET)
copies = et_translator.retrieve_emails_from_list(list_id)

# Creating new folder
# not required fields for folder: description, content_type, is_active, is_editable, allow_children
new_folder_id = et_translator.create_folder('title', :parent => parent_directory_id)

# Creating folders
# not required fields for folders: description, content_type, is_active, is_editable, allow_children
new_folder_ids = et_translator.create_folders(['title', 'title2'], :parent => parent_directory_id)

# Creating new email
# not required fields for email: email_type, is_html_paste, character_set, name, description, category_id
new_email_id = et_translator.create_email('subject', 'body')

# Creating emails
# not required fields for emails: email_type, is_html_paste, character_set, name, description, category_id
new_email_ids = et_translator.create_emails({'subject' => 'body', 'subject2' => 'body2'})

# User object:
{
  :email => '[email protected]',
  :lists => [list_id1, list_id2...],
  :first_name => 'Name',
  :last_name => 'Lastname'
}

# Creating new subscriber
# not required fields for subscriber: first_name, last_name, client_id
new_subscriber_id = et_translator.create_subscriber(user_object)

# Creating subscribers
# not required fields for subscriber: first_name, last_name, client_id
new_subscriber_ids = et_translator.create_subscribers([user_object1, user_object2...])

# Send email to list
# not required fields for send: account
send_tracking_id = et_translator.send_email_to_list(email_id, list_id)

# Send emails to lists
# not required fields for send: account
send_tracking_ids = et_translator.send_emails_to_lists({'email_id' => 'list_id','email_id' => 'list_id'...})
