Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rdstation-ruby-client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rdstation-ruby-client

Before getting youre credentials, you need to configure client_id and client_secret as following:

RDStation.configure do |config|
  config.client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
  config.client_secret = YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
end

For details on what client_id and client_secret are, check the developers portal.

For more details, check the developers portal.

rdstation_authentication = RDStation::Authentication.new

redirect_url = 'https://yourapp.org/auth/callback'
rdstation_authentication.auth_url(redirect_url)

You will need the code param that is returned from RD Station to your application after the user confirms the access at the authorization dialog.

rdstation_authentication = RDStation::Authentication.new
rdstation_authentication.authenticate(code_returned_from_rdstation)
# => { 'access_token' => '54321', 'expires_in' => 86_400, 'refresh_token' => 'refresh' }

rdstation_authentication = RDStation::Authentication.new
rdstation_authentication.update_access_token('refresh_token')

NOTE: This is done automatically when a request fails due to access_token expiration. To keep track of the new token, you have to provide a callback block in configuration. For example:

RDStation.configure do |config|
  config.client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
  config.client_secret = YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
  config.on_access_token_refresh do |authorization|
    # authorization.access_token_expires_in is the time (in seconds for with the token is valid)
    # authorization.access_token is the new token
    # authorization.refresh_token is the existing refresh_token
    #
    # If you are using ActiveRecord, you may want to update the stored access_token, like in the following code:
    MyStoredAuth.where(refresh_token: authorization.refresh_token).update_all(access_token: authorization.access_token)
  end
end

RDStation::Authentication.revoke(access_token: "your token")

Note: this will completely remove your credentials from RD Station (update_access_token won't work anymore).

Returns data about a specific Contact

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.contacts.by_uuid('uuid')

More info: https://developers.rdstation.com/reference/get_platform-contacts-identifier-value

Returns data about a specific Contact

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.contacts.by_email('email')

More info: https://developers.rdstation.com/pt-BR/reference/contacts#methodGetDetailsuuid

Updates the properties of a Contact.

contact_info = {
  name: "Joe Foo"
}

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.contacts.update('uuid', contact_info)

Contact Default Parameters

• email
• name
• job_title
• linkedin
• facebook
• twitter
• personal_phone
• mobile_phone
• website
• tags

More info: https://developers.rdstation.com/reference/patch_platform-contacts-identifier-value

With an UPSERT like behavior, this method is capable of both updating the properties of a Contact or creating a new Contact. Whatever is used as an identifier cannot appear in the request payload as a field. This will result in a BAD_REQUEST error.

contact_info = {
  name: "Joe Foo"
}

identifier = "email"
identifier_value = "joe@foo.bar"

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.contacts.upsert(identifier, identifier_value, contact_info)

More info: https://developers.rdstation.com/reference/patch_platform-contacts-identifier-value

The events endpoint are responsible for receiving different event types in which RD Station Contacts take part in.

It is possible to send default events to RD Station such as conversion events, lifecycle events and won and lost events. Also, RD Station supports the possibility of receiving different event types, for instance, chat events, ecommerce ones and others.

Check the developers portal to learn about the required payload structure and which events are available.

This creates a new event on RDSM:

payload = {} # hash representing the payload
client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.events.create(payload)

Endpoints to manage Contact Fields information in your RD Station account.

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.fields.all

payload = {} # hash representing the payload
client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.fields.create payload

Or you can use the new RDStation::Builder::Field

payload = {} # hash representing the payload
builder = RDStation::Builder::Field.new payload['api_identifier']
builder.data_type(payload['data_type'])
builder.presentation_type(payload['presentation_type'])
builder.name('pt-BR', payload['name'])
builder.label('pt-BR', payload['label'])

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.fields.create builder.build

payload = {} # hash representing the payload
client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.fields.update('FIELD_UUID', payload)

Or you can use the new RDStation::Builder::Field

payload = {} # hash representing the payload
builder = RDStation::Builder::Field.new payload['api_identifier']
builder.data_type(payload['data_type'])
builder.presentation_type(payload['presentation_type'])
builder.name('pt-BR', payload['name'])
builder.label('pt-BR', payload['label'])

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.fields.update('FIELD_UUID', builder.build)

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.fields.delete('FIELD_UUID')

Webhooks provide the ability to receive real-time data updates about your contact activity.

Choose to receive data based on certain actions, re-cast or marked as an opportunity, and have all applicable data sent to a URL of your choice. You can then use your own custom application to read, save, and do actions with that data. This is a powerful option that allows you to keep all your data in sync and opens the possibility for all types of integration.

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.webhooks.all

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.webhooks.by_uuid('WEBHOOK_UUID')

payload = {} # payload representing a webhook
client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.webhooks.create(payload)

The required strucutre of the payload is described here.

payload = {} # payload representing a webhook
client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.webhooks.create('WEBHOOK_UUID', payload)

The required strucutre of the payload is described here

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.webhooks.delete('WEBHOOK_UUID')

Endpoints to Email information in your RD Station account.

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.emails.all

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
query_params = {page_size: 10, page: 1}
client.emails.all(query_params)

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.emails.by_id(id)

Endpoints to Segmentation information in your RD Station account.

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.segmentations.all

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.segmentations.contacts(segmentation_id)

Endpoints to Analytics information in your RD Station account.

Endpoints to Analytics - Email marketing information in your RD Station account.

• NOTE: The query params start_date(yyyy-mm-dd) and end_date(yyyy-mm-dd) are required

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
query_params =  { start_date:'2022-11-02', end_date:'2022-11-08' }
client.analytics.email_marketing(query_params)

client.analytics.conversions(query_params)

Endpoints to LandingPages information in your RD Station account.

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.landing_pages.all

Returns the account information.

client = RDStation::Client.new(access_token: 'access_token', refresh_token: 'refresh_token')
client.account.info

See CHANGELOG.md

v2.0.0 main change is that it drops support for RDSM's old 1.x API. If you're not familiar with the 2.0 API yet, check it out first. Also take a look at the release notes, as they explain the changes in greater detail.

So, here is a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade your app:

• Ensure you're using ruby >= 2.0.0.
• Remove every direct instantiation of RDStation::Contacts, RDStation::Events, RDStation::Fields and RDStation::Webhooks and use RDStation::Client to get them instead.
• Replace any call of RDStation::Client#create_lead, RDStation::Client#change_lead or RDStation::Client#change_lead_status with the equivalent method in the Contacts API.
• Review your error handling, as more options are available now. http_status method will always return nil. To get the status now use error.details[:http_status] or check the type of the class.
