README
A PHP client to interact with Braze API
Braze offers a cloud-based customer engagement platform for multichannel marketing. This SDK allows you to integrate its REST API into a PHP application.
Table of Contents
Features
- Explicit representation of the API contract to write requests easily using the IDE autocomplete
- Formal validation (strict and non-strict) of requests
- Dry-run mode to simulate requests and validate them without actually performing calls
- Ability to use any http client via an adapter. For PSR-18 compatible clients and the Symfony client, adapters are included in the SDK
- Parallel API calls supported if the http client allows it (for example the Symfony one)
Install
Add the SDK as a dependency running:
composer require immobiliarelabs/braze-sdk
If not already included in your project, to make http requests, you need to install any combination of packages that implements:
psr/http-client-implementation
orsymfony/http-client-contracts
psr/http-factory-implementation
psr/http-message-implementation
for example by installing symfony/http-client
and nyholm/psr7
you are ready to use the SDK, also with parallel requests.
Alternatively, it is also possible to use any http client by creating the appropriate adapter.
Usage
Example
Before instantiating the SDK it is necessary to create the http client and its adapter.
use ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\ClientAdapter\SymfonyAdapter; use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient; $client = HttpClient::create(); $adapter = new SymfonyAdapter($client);
This example is for the Symfony http client, but the flow is the same whether you are using a PSR-18 client or a custom one. Then you can create the SDK instance.
use ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\Braze; use ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\Region; $braze = new Braze($adapter, 'my-api-key', Region::EU01);
Now you can start making requests by creating one and passing it to the appropriate endpoint.
use ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\Object\Event; use ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\Request\Users\TrackRequest; $event = new Event(); $event->external_id = 'user-id'; $event->app_id = 'app-id'; $event->name = 'event-name'; $event->time = new \DateTimeImmutable(); $event->properties = ['property' => 'property-value']; $request = new TrackRequest(); $request->events = [$event]; $response = $braze->users()->track($request, false);
You can see a few complete examples in the repository.
Custom user attributes
To set custom User attributes use the setCustomAttribute
or setCustomAttributes
methods available in the UserAttributes
class.
use ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\Object\UserAttributes; $userAttributes = new UserAttributes(); $userAttributes->external_id = 'user-id'; $userAttributes->first_name = 'Name'; $userAttributes->setCustomAttribute('custom_int_property', 47); $userAttributes->setCustomAttributes([ 'custom_string_property' => 'properyValue', 'custom_bool_property' => false, ]); $request = new TrackRequest(); $request->attributes = [$userAttributes]; $response = $braze->users()->track($request, false);
Endpoints
Endpoints are organized by url prefix. The SDK supports all the Braze endpoints:
- users
- campaigns
- canvas
- messages
- content_blocks
- templates
- events
- feed
- purchases
- sessions
- sends
- transactional
- subscription
Validation and dry-run
The SDK does a formal validation of the request before executing it. It is however possible to disable it completely:
$braze->setValidation(false);
or just the strict one, since Braze partially executes requests when possible:
$braze->setValidation(true, false);
By default, the SDK performs strict validation.
If you want to validate your requests without sending them to Braze you can enable dry-run mode:
$braze->setDryRun(true);
HTTP client adapter
If, in your project, you already have a http client which does not implement one of the two supported interfaces (Symfony and PSR18),
and you don't want to install another one, just define an adapter that implements the ImmobiliareLabs\BrazeSDK\ClientAdapter\ClientAdapterInterface
interface,
and use it when instantiate the SDK.
Parallel requests
If the chosen http client supports asynchronous calls, you can exploit that to make parallel requests to Braze in this way:
$response1 = $braze->users()->track($request1, true); $response2 = $braze->users()->track($request2, true); $braze->flush();
The response objects will be filled with the values obtained only after the call to flush.
