SendInBlue create contact error

[pirmax]

I'm working in local to test SendInBlue create contact.

Swagger\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('api-key', env('SENDINBLUE_API_KEY'));

$api_instance = new Swagger\Client\Api\ContactsApi();
$createContact = new Swagger\Client\Model\CreateContact();

$createContact['email'] = 'email@gmail.com';
$createContact['listIds'] = 2;

$result = $api_instance->createContact($createContact);

dd($result);

I have this error...

[400] Error connecting to the API (https://api.sendinblue.com/v3/contacts)

Hello @pirmax

FYI please update the library as we have done some minor fixes.
After that for create contact API I suggest you to use below sample code:

Sendinblue\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('api-key', env('SENDINBLUE_API_KEY'));

$api_instance = new Sendinblue\Client\Api\ContactsApi();
$create_contact = new \Sendinblue\Client\Model\CreateContact();

$create_contact['email'] = 'email@gmail.com';
$create_contact['listIds'] = array(2);

try {
    $result = $api_instance->createContact($create_contact);
    print_r($result);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    print_r($e);
    echo 'Exception when calling ContactsApi->createContact: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}

Where print_r($e); will give you complete ApiException Object
Thanks

What about custom attributes? When I add

$create_contact['attributes'] = array('some_attribute' => 'some value')

I get the 400 error again.

[bjornbos]

I've also tried to wrap it as a json object:

$create_contact['attributes'] = json_encode(array('some_attribute' => 'some value'))

The contact is then saved, but not the attributes.

I'm trying to to add an attribute value but nothing... any solutions?

[vishalpawar-tudip]

Any update here, please?
I am also getting same 400 error code while creating contact.

I got this error because contact already exists in another list. The error message is not clear.
Add parameter updateEnabled = true solved the problem.

I just ditched the PHP SDK and use the REST api directly. Works so much better.

@bjornbos
Thank you for your fast answer.

hello, has one managed to send the attributes?, only the email is saved

[karelbyte]

I, sent in the data in this way and does not save the attributes:
{"email":"ssss@gmail.com","attributes":{"FNAME":"sdgsfdgsdsf"}}

I have been able to get some attributes to save, but am struggling to set attributes with the "Category" type (e.g. the default DOUBLE_OPT-IN attribute and a custom attribute I created called IS_SUPPORTER, both of which are "Category" attribute types with two potential values "Yes" and "No").

I was originally struggling to set the first and last name attributes for a contact because I was following the documentation, which shows those attributes as FNAME and LNAME, but I saw in the attributes table that they are actually FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME. The following code successfully sets the the first name and the GDPR_CONSENT attribute (boolean type), but doesn't update my custom category attribute (IS_SUPPORTER) or the native DOUBLE_OPT-IN category attribute.

$apiInstance = new SendinBlue\Client\Api\ContactsApi(
  new GuzzleHttp\Client(),
  $config
);

$email = 'testcontact@email.com';

$updateContact = new \SendinBlue\Client\Model\UpdateContact();

$updateContact['attributes'] = array(
	'FIRSTNAME' => 'Joe',
	'IS_SUPPORTER' => 'YES',
	'DOUBLE_OPT-IN' => 'NO',
	'GDPR_CONSENT' => true
);

try {
  $result = $apiInstance->updateContact( $email, $updateContact );
  var_dump( 'sent' );
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
  echo 'Exception when calling ContactsApi->createContact: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
