I have a list of contacts (List A) that I would like to send a particular email to. However, the issue here is that the contacts in this List A are present in the Bronto Contacts database already, and I have no way of applying segmentation so that I get the same contacts as the ones in List A.
Is there a way I can send these contacts an email from Bronto?
If you're looking to do this programmatically, Bronto has an API that you can use to look up the contacts, as well as send a message. Otherwise you'd likely have to create a new list that mirrors List A (which would be very time-consuming - but can also be done programmatically via their API).

I am new in Flutter - Firestore
I am learning flutter with firebase and creating a sample dating app
I have a list of users that I get in a stream and display it using List view
Firestore.instance.collection('users').snapshots()
I have learnt to filter this like so
.where((user) => user.age < settings.agemax && user.age > settings.agemin))
and all this works.
I also have a subcollection called shortlist (list of users that current user has shortlisted) that I get using,
Firestore.instance.collection('users').document(uid).collection('shortlist').snapshots()
Now I am trying to redefine my first query GetUsers with filters based on following
How do I exclude shortlisted users that I am fetching in a stream from all users stream
Similarly would also need to filter out "matched users" and "Blocked / declined" users as well !
I believe my question is how do I query Users Collection and exclude records with uid's that contained in a Shortlist subcollection. I am planning to use the same logic for matches and blocked !? am I on the right track ?
also ... do I need to refetch all records when a users shortlists/matches/blocks someone, as the stream would change or is there a way to remove that one record from the listview without rebuilding, may be I should separate this question in two.
If I understand correctly you are looking for the (just introduced) not-in operator, so I recommend also checking out this blog post.
I expect that this operator hasn't landed in the Flutter libraries yet, as that may take some time. I recommend checking the upcoming releases to see when it lands, or checking/filing an issue on the repo.
Until then, there's no way to exclude results from a query, so you will have to exclude the items from the stream of results in your application code.
I am trying to fetch "Email Performance Report" from the platform
using API to analyze the KPI's like CTR etc by type of the email
(newsletter,email marketing etc).
I went through the documentation, however I didn't find endpoint from
which I can fetch the same.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get this information?
There is no endpoint to query reports directly. However, the good news is, that the “things” that make up an “Email Performance Report”, namely: email delivery, bounce, open and click are available to query via the API.
This means that you have to build the report yourself, but you can fetch the dataset to work on.
These “things” are called activity types (activity measured on a Lead) and can be fetched by querying against the Get Lead Activities endpoint, which is also mentioned as the Query in the API docs.
It sits at the GET /rest/v1/activities.json url and you have to pass a nextPageToken and the activityTypeIds as query parameters.
The nextPageToken indicates a datetime. Activities after that date will be returned by the call. To obtain one, you have to make a call to GET /rest/v1/activities/pagingtoken.json, where you have to specify the earliest datetime to retrieve activities from. See more about Paging Tokens.
To figure out the value of activityTypeIds, you first need to get the internal Ids of the activity types you are interested in. In order to do so, you have to query the GET /rest/v1/activities/types.json endpoint and look for the activity types with names like Send Email, Email Delivered, Email Bounced, Unsubscribe Email, Open Email and Click Email. (I don't know if these Ids are changing from instance to instance, but in ours these are from #6 to #11).
Once you have all of these bits at hand, you can make your request like that:
GET https://<INSTANCE_ID>.mktorest.com/rest/v1/activities.json?activityTypeIds=<TYPE_ID>&nextPageToken=<NEXTPAGE_TOKEN>&access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>
The result it gives is an array with items like below. Items can be filtered to specific email based on the primaryAttributeValue property and processed further accordingly.
{
"id":7370416,
"marketoGUID":"7170506",
"leadId":291305,
"activityDate":"2017-12-17T00:00:00Z",
"activityTypeId":11,// #11 = `Click Email`
"campaignId":1790,
"primaryAttributeValueId":1638,
"primaryAttributeValue":"EMAIL_NAME",// Name of the Email as seen in Marketo
"attributes":[
// …
]
}
I am trying to track the number of email opens of a mailing.
This mailing is not personalised, so each receiver will get exactly the same email contents.
So far I have found out that I can add a tracking pixel in the mailing, which will send data to GA that a user opened the mail (images were loaded).
Example code:
<img src=”http://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-XXXXXX-X
&cid=EmailOpenTest&t=event&ec=email&ea=open&el=EmailOpenTest
&cs=newsletter&cm=email&cn=Email&cm1=1″ />
'tid' will be our custom tracking ID.
This all works, as when this link is opened the total number of hits increases.
But my question relates to parameter 'cid'. For testing purposes, I have set this here to "EmailOpenTest". But this should be a random/unique ID per user actually. But as the mailing is not personalised, I wonder if it would be possible to track individual users?
Does this mean I have to include javascript in the mail? Would that even work in all email clients? Or are there other options?
All suggestions are welcome.
Assumption: you are using a mail client like Mail Chimp
Assign a unique id to every email on the email list. lets say this unique id is uid
Create a custom dimension in GA, lets name it as Client Mail Id with index say 1
Create the same pixel just like you have created above in the OP.
Add a custom Dimension in the hit as
http://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-XXXXXX-X
&cid=EmailOpenTest&t=event&ec=email&ea=open&el=EmailOpenTest
&cs=newsletter&cm=email&cn=Email&cm1=1&cd1=uid
In place of uid, you actually need to pass the mail list unique id for that email
How it will work
Once the user sends this hit, your unique id will be recorded in custom dimension 1.
Generate a custom report in GA with event category=email & event action=open and add a dimension custom dimension 1.
All the id's displayed there have actually opened the email ;)
PS: It's tried and tested, so won't cause any issue. Also if you don't want to use custom dimensions, you can also send this id in event label or event value
PPS: In any mail client, getting unique value for that email is pretty easy. You can actiually use its position number or add another column for the unique id, then grab that id win the template
The cid is the clientId, an identifier that is used to aggregate pageviews into sessions, and sessions into unique users.
The way to use that in email-tracking would be to capture the client id when a user subscribes to your newsletter and then insert it into the email links. Since your mails are not personalized this will not work.
If you use a random ID you will not be able to link the request from the mail to an existing user. So one way to deal with the problem would be to ignore it - using a constant userId would still give you an event count (the unique events metric might be a little of if users click the link multiple times within a session lifetime).
If for some reason you absolutely need to track these as different users you can set up a redirect - do not send data to ga directly from your mail, instead call a script on your server that inserts a random clientId and then sends the data to Google.
I am completly new to suiteCRM and I created 2 modules holding contacts for different contact groups. So i have (together with the standart contacts list) 3 list. Now i want to be able to send on the easiest way emails to some persons (selectable) of all 3 lists (eg. to send inventations for events). The problem is i dont know how to set relations to be able to select all contacts, i am always just seeing the standart contacs list. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
And at this point is it possible to add a select list to the create and edit form to select a target group while creating a new contact?
Thanks for any help!
I have this situation:
I have a collection named Lists -> lists of sent e-mails;
I have a collection named Emails -> all the sent emails;
I need to show the sent e-mails for an specific list, lets say "list_id: 1";
And, on the same page, I need to show the total sent e-mails on that day, without filtering by list_id, but by submitted_date;
How's that possible on Meteor?
Thank you!
Actually I've found a good workaround for my issue. Subscribing to a count:
Meteor subscribe to a count
There is an example on Meteor's documentation:
http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_publish
Maybe this will help someone in the future.
Those requests will depend on the structure of your Lists and Emails collections.
If your Lists collection is base on _id and an array of Email _id.
Then to show e-mail for a specific list:
Meteor.publish('emails_for_list', function(list){
return Emails.find({
_id: {$in: list.emails}
});
});
As for counting the total number of emails sent on a day.
return Emails.find({submitted_date: today}).count();
Again it all depends on how you build you collections.
Instead of having a Lists collection you can as easy put an list_number on each email object.
