The following is a short code sample of how to clear a data extension inside of ExactTarget. This is very useful for external applications that need to clear data extensions without the need executing a query or deleting every row one at a time. It should be noted that this only applies to Enterprise 2.0 [...]
A newly added (or just now documented) feature of the ExactTarget SOAP API is the creation of Data Filters. A Data Filter is simply a set of simple logical operators strung together to create a query like filter. What really makes this powerful is that all ExactTarget accounts have Data Filters, which makes this a [...]
Although having the ability to wrap the entire SOAP API would be nice I found it nearly impossible. However, I’ve made a simplified version that allows one to act on ExactTarget objects. It allows for Create, Update, Delete, Retrieve, and Upsert of an object. Again, it is simple but it will save in writing a [...]
This is an example of how to execute a triggered send within the ExactTarget platform. $wsdl = ‘https://webservice.exacttarget.com/etframework.wsdl’; try{ //Create the Soap Client $client = new ExactTargetSoapClient($wsdl, array(‘trace’=>1)); // Set username and password here $client->username = ‘username’; $client->password = ‘password’; //Define the subscriber $subscriber = new ExactTarget_Subscriber(); $subscriber->EmailAddress = ‘test@test.com’; $subscriber->SubscriberKey = ‘test@test.com’; //Define the [...]
try { $wsdl = ‘https://on.exacttarget.com/etframework.wsdl’; $client = new ExactTargetSoapClient($wsdl, array(‘trace’=>1)); $client->username = ‘username’; $client->password = ‘password’; //Define the query definition $query = new ExactTarget_QueryDefinition(); $query->ObjectID = ‘QueryID’; $sql = “SELECT TOP 10 FROM table”; $query->QueryText = $sql; //Set the targeted data extension $ibo = new ExactTarget_InteractionBaseObject(); $ibo->CustomerKey = ‘Target DE’; $ibo->Name = “Test Send”; $query->DataExtensionTarget [...]
