Sending notifications

Sending notifications

To send notifications via the API, send an HTTP POST to this endpoint:https://app.prompty.io/api/[SITE_ID]/send?api_token=[API_TOKEN]

Your POST must include a payload in JSON format:

{
	"recipients": {
		"all": true
	},
	"title": "Your title",
	"message": "Your message",
	"icon": "https://example.com/img.png",
	"link": "https://www.prompty.io/"
}

Important notes

  • Replace [SITE_ID] in the endpoint URL with your actual Site ID (found on your dashboard).
  • Replace [API_TOKEN] in the endpoint URL with your actual API Token.
  • Be sure to send a Content-Type: application/json header with your request.
  • Title is limited to a maximum of 200 characters.
  • Message is limited to a maximum of 2000 characters.
  • Icon & Link are optional.

CURL example

curl -d '{"recipients":{"all":true}, "title":"Your title", "message":"Your message", "icon":"https://example.com/img.png", "link":"https://www.prompty.io/"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "https://app.prompty.io/api/[SITE_ID]/send?api_token=[API_TOKEN]"

PHP example

<?php

$site_id = '[SITE_ID]';
$api_token = '[API_TOKEN]';

$payload = array(
        'recipients' => array(
                'all' => true
        ),
	'title' => 'Your title',
	'message' => 'Your message',
	'icon' => 'https://example.com/img.png',
	'link' => 'https://www.prompty.io/'
);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://app.prompty.io/api/' . $site_id . '/send?api_token=' . $api_token);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($payload))
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

?>

Changing recipients

To limit a notification to your test list, replace the value of the recipients array like this:

	"recipients": {
		"test": true
	},

To send to one or more subscribers, use a comma-delimited list of Subscriber IDs:

	"recipients": {
		"subscriber": "1,2"
	},

You may also send notifications based on an External ID value:

	"recipients": {
		"external_id": "313,612"
	},

Error response

If there is an error processing your request, you’ll receive a response like this:

{
	"status": "error",
	"code": "NOT_AUTHORIZED",
	"message": "..."
}

Success response

The Send ID (as seen on the Results page) will be returned upon a successful request.

{
	"status": "success",
	"code": "OK",
	"message": "...",
	"data": {
		"id": 1
	}
}
