How to save emails in an email list on SendGrid using Laravel?

Question

I'm working on a functionality where once a user signs up for an account, he will start getting a series of email throughout a time period (email drips).

I'm using Laravel. I need to grab the email on sign up and save it on an email list on SendGrid. But I don't find this on the sendgrid/sendgrid-php package's docs.

So, would you please tell me how I may implement this?

Answer 1

It can be done with the sendgrid-php package:

use SendGrid;

$api = new SendGrid(YOUR_API_KEY);
$contacts = [
    [
        'email' => "email@something",
        'address_line_1' => '',
        'city' => '',
        'country' => '',
        'first_name' => '',
        'last_name' => '',
        etc....
    ]
]
$request_body = [
    'contacts' => $contacts
];

$response = $api->client->marketing()->contacts()->put($request_body);
if($response->statusCode() !== 202) {
    // error has occured
}
