Integration with CRM

Hi

The function GetEmailsInfo in Dynamicweb.DataIntegration.Providers.CRMProvider seems to only return emails that was opened in a browser. I would like to get all emails that was sent according to the integration job setup (Export emails since) regardless of if they were opened, links clicked etc. Is there any way to do this?

Hi Bjørn,
no that is not implemented. As a possible solution for now could be to use the Dynamicweb api and write your own method to return you all emails.
To get emails you can use:
Email.GetUpdatedEmailsFromLastExport().Where(e => e.IsEmailSent() && e.GetEmailSentStartTime() > emailsSentFromTime);
Or
emails = Email.GetEmails(true).Where(e => e.IsEmailSent() && e.GetEmailSentStartTime() > emailsSentFromTime);

Then you can get the EmailInfos and fix the sample code for your needs:

internal static List<EmailInfo> GetEmailsInfo(bool exportNotExportedEmails, DateTime emailsSentFromTime)
        {
            List<EmailInfo> ret = new List<EmailInfo>();
            //todo: write your own GetEmails:
            IEnumerable<Email> emails = GetEmails();
            EmailStatistics stat = null;

            foreach (Email e in emails)
            {
                if (e != null)
                {
                    stat = new EmailStatistics(e);

                    foreach (ResponseItem ri in stat.GetResponses())
                    {
                        EmailInfo ei = new EmailInfo();
                        ei.ExternalUserID = ri.AccessUserExternalID;
                        ei.EmailID = e.ID;
                        ei.EmailSubject = ri.EmailSubject;
                        ei.EmailSendCompleteDate = e.GetEmailSentCompletedTime();
                        ei.ClickedLinks.Add(ri.Data);
                        
                        ret.Add(ei);
                    }
                }
            }
            //todo:
            //merge your list with having EmailInfo for the same users "AccessUserExternalID":
            //EmailInfo.ClickedLinks collection can be merged and duplicate EmailInfo's can be deleted

            return ret;
        }

Namespaces needed:
using Dynamicweb.EmailMarketing;
using Dynamicweb.EmailMarketing.Statistics;
using Dynamicweb.Mailing;
using Dynamicweb.Mailing.Links;

Dmitrij,

Thank you for a quick response. I am able to get the all the emails, but there is no Response for emails that did not get opened, so I am unable to get the AccessUserExternalID (who it was sent to) using the stat.GetResponses() call.

Dmitrij,

Did you have a chance to look at this? Since some emails will never be opened, they do not have a response, so I am unable to get the AccessUserExternalID. Is there another way to do it? The export to CRM expects to connect it to a CRM contact.

Hi Bjørn,
you can get the AccessUserExternalID by finding a user with AccessUserId that equals to the emails recipients "RecipientKey" value.

If that solution works for you here is some code to get the email recipients:
foreach (Email e in emails)
            {
                if (e != null)
                {
                    helper = new ExportStatisticsHelper(e);
                    if (helper != null)
                    {
                        foreach (RecipientsListData rld in helper.GetRecipientsListData())
                        {
                            if (rld != null)
                            {
                                rcp = Recipient.GetRecipientById(rld.Id);
                                if (rcp != null)
                                {
                                    row = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                                    //rcp.RecipientKey - should match the AccessUserId
                                    row.Add("EmailID", e.ID);
                                    row.Add("RecipientID", rld.Id);
                                    row.Add("Recipient", rcp.Name);                                    
                                    row.Add("Email", rcp.EmailAddress);
                                    row.Add("Opened", rld.Opened);
                                    row.Add("Clicked", rld.Clicked);
                                    row.Add("Cart", rld.Cart);
                                    row.Add("Order", rld.Order);
                                    row.Add("Unsubscribed", rld.Unsubscribed);
                                    row.Add("EngagementIndex", rld.EngagementIndex);
                                    row.Add("ExternalID", GetExternalUserID(rcp.RecipientKey));
                                    dataList.Add(row);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Thanks!

I am not able to find the method "GetExternalUserID" method. In what namespace is it located?

Sorry, here it is:
private static string GetExternalUserID(string userID)
        {
            string ret = string.Empty;
            int id;
            if (int.TryParse(userID, out id))
            {
                User user = User.GetUserByID(id);
                if (user != null)
                {
                    ret = user.ExternalID;
                }
            }
            return ret;
        }
