Save & Subscribe Email Addresses to Channels

This method will subscribe all provided email address to all provided channel ids. If a provided email address has existing channel subscriptions, the existing subscriptions will remain and new channels provided will be added as additional subscriptions. If a provided email address is already subscribed to a provided channel, the user will remain subscribed to that provided channel and new channels provided will be added as additional subscriptions.

//                                             messageToChannel( string[] $emailAddresses,   string[] $channelIds=[] )
\gcgov\framework\services\bulkEmail\bulkEmail::messageToChannel( ['jdoe@garrettcounty.org'], [ '64f1e3a45d0afbf5408370cc' ] );

Send a Bulk Email to Channel Subscribers

This method will queue the same message to every email address subscribed to a particular channel.

Actual mail sending is handled by the Bulk Email API and may be delayed based on message priority and sending limits.

$message            = new \gcgov\framework\services\bulkEmail\models\messageToChannel();

//wrap $message->message with this template
$message->template  = \gcgov\framework\services\bulkEmail\models\template::countyTemplate2023; 

//if the brand heading should use department information, specify the id of the department to use. To use a generic leave null)
//$message->sendingDepartmentId  = '{departmentId}';

//send this message to all subscribers to this channel
$message->channelId = '{channelId}';

//email subject line
$message->subject   = 'Subject';

//email html body - do not use full 
$message->message   = '<div>HTML message body</div>';

//a reference to the event/item that generated this message
$message->reference = 'website.article.id=1';

//send
\gcgov\framework\services\bulkEmail\bulkEmail::messageToChannel( $message );

Send an Individual Email

To send an individual email, use bulkEmail::messageToEmail()

$message            = new \gcgov\framework\services\bulkEmail\models\messageToEmail();

//wrap $message->message with this template
$message->template  = \gcgov\framework\services\bulkEmail\models\template::countyTemplate2023; 

//if the brand heading should use department information, specify the id of the department to use. To use a generic leave null)
//$message->sendingDepartmentId  = '{departmentId}';

//send this message to these email addresses
$message->to = ['jdoe@garrettcounty.org'];
