@uninspired/plunk-client

A TypeScript client for the Plunk HTTP API.

Automatically handles the conversion of response data to the correct format.

Requirements

• A runtime that supports fetch, Buffer and async/await (Node.js >= 18, bun or deno, optionally the browser with a buffer polyfill)

Installation

npm install @uninspired/plunk-client

Usage

Initializing the client

import { PlunkApiClient } from "@uninspired/plunk-client";

const PLUNK_BASE_URL = "https://api.useplunk.com"; // Can be changed for self-hosted Plunk
const PLUNK_API_KEY = "your-api-key"; // Use your API secret key here

const plunkApiClient = new PlunkApiClient(PLUNK_BASE_URL, PLUNK_API_KEY);

Automations

Track an event

const res = await plunkApiClient.trackEvent({
  event: "[EVENT_ID]",
  email: "[email protected]",
  subscribed: true,
  data: {
    foo: "bar",
  },
});

Transactional

Send an email

You can provide attachments to the email by providing an array of JavaScript File objects. They will automatically be converted to base64 with the necessary metadata.

const attachment = new File([], "test.txt");

const res = await plunkApiClient.sendEmail({
  to: "[email protected]",
  subject: "Hello",
  body: "Hello, this is a test email.",
  subscribed: true,
  name: "John Doe",
  from: "[email protected]",
  reply: "[email protected]",
  headers: {
    "X-Custom-Header": "Test",
  },
  attachments: [attachment],
});

Campaigns

Create a campaign

const res = await plunkApiClient.createCampaign({
  subject: "Hello",
  body: "Hello, this is a test email.",
  recipients: ["[email protected]"],
  style: "PLUNK",
});

Send a campaign

const res = await plunkApiClient.sendCampaign("[CAMPAIGN_ID]", {
  live: true, // Should the campaign be sent to the recipients
  delay: 5, // in minutes
});

Update a campaign

const res = await plunkApiClient.updateCampaign("[CAMPAIGN_ID]", {
  subject: "Hello",
  body: "Hello, this is a test email.",
  recipients: ["[email protected]"],
  style: "PLUNK",
});

Delete a campaign

const res = await plunkApiClient.deleteCampaign("[CAMPAIGN_ID]");

Contacts

Get a contact by ID

interface ContactData {
  foo: string;
}

const res = await plunkApiClient.getContactById<ContactData>("[CONTACT_ID]");

Get all contacts

interface ContactData {
  foo: string;
}

const res = await plunkApiClient.getAllContacts<ContactData>();

Get number of contacts

const res = await plunkApiClient.getNumberOfContacts();

Create a contact

interface ContactData {
  foo: string;
}

const res = await plunkApiClient.createContact<ContactData>({
  email: "[email protected]",
  subscribed: true,
  data: {
    foo: "bar",
  },
});

Subscribe a contact

// Subscribe contact by ID
const res = await plunkApiClient.subscribeContact({ id: "[CONTACT_ID]" });

// Subscribe contact by email
const res = await plunkApiClient.subscribeContact({
  email: "[email protected]",
});

Unsubscribe a contact

// Unsubscribe contact by ID
const res = await plunkApiClient.unsubscribeContact({ id: "[CONTACT_ID]" });

// Unsubscribe contact by email
const res = await plunkApiClient.unsubscribeContact({
  email: "[email protected]",
});

Update a contact

interface ContactData {
  foo: string;
}

const res = await plunkApiClient.updateContact<ContactData>({
  id: "[CONTACT_ID]",
  data: { foo: "bar" },
});

Delete a contact

const res = await plunkApiClient.deleteContact("[CONTACT_ID]");

Features

Providing types for the arbitrary "data" field

Any request or response that contains a "data" field can have its type enforced by providing a type argument to the respective method.

Note: The data is not validated, it is simply typed.

interface ContactData {
  foo: string;
  bar?: string;
}

const res = await plunkApiClient.getContactById<ContactData>("[CONTACT_ID]");

// res.data will be of type ContactData

This will throw a TypeScript error:

interface ContactData {
  foo: string;
}

const res = await plunkApiClient.trackEvent<ContactData>({
  event: "[EVENT_ID]",
  email: "[email protected]",
  data: {
    bar: "bar",
  },
});
