CampaignMonitor.cfc

After a recent project at work involving some work with Campaign Monitor i’ve decided to build a ColdFusion based wrapper / cfc to go with there API. (I couldnt find any other previous attempts at it!)

I’m still wondering whether i should create a simple CFC for just listing / getting information, another for adding and sending campaigns or just bundle it all together in one big set? Any ideas?

  • Hi Jon,
    Can you share any of the results uptonow? Im looking into integrating CM in a backoffice solution i have as a SaaS product. Maybe i can help bringing it further?

    @Rosanne,

    Thanks for the support, the only thing that perhaps campaign monitor is a "sandbox" account to go along with the API. This would be helpful for testing purposes without having to send real campaigns / create fake lists and whatnot.

    That sounds like a rather good plan, i am surprised there isn't one available to be honest. But after a bit of research you can tell there is a fair few issues regarding the use of ColdFusion and the CM API, shouldnt be too much trouble in theory.

    I'm still debating what functions and whatnot is going to be needed to give a full functioned CFC.

    What functionality do you think would be most useful?

    I have been thinking of doing the same thing, we offer a rebranded CM service and the one thing we cannot offer clients is use of the API as it is only for the reseller. So I was going to create a wrapper that would allow us to restrict customers to accessing their own account only.
