@trycourier/courier

@trycourier/courier

A node.js module for communicating with the Courier REST API.

Installation (via npm)

npm install @trycourier/courier

Usage

import { CourierClient } from "@trycourier/courier";

const courier = CourierClient({ authorizationToken: "<AUTH_TOKEN>" }); // get from the Courier UI

// Example: send a message supporting email & SMS
const { messageId } = await courier.send({
  eventId: "<EVENT_ID>", // get from the Courier UI
  recipientId: "<RECIPIENT_ID>", // usually your system's User ID
  profile: {
    email: "[e-mail]",
    phone_number: "555-228-3890",
  },
  data: {}, // optional variables for merging into templates
});

// Example: send a message to a list
const { messageId } = await courier.lists.send({
  event: "<EVENT_ID>", // get from the Courier UI
  list: "<LIST_ID>", // e.g. example.list.id
  data: {}, // optional variables for merging into templates
});

// Example: send a message to a pattern
const { messageId } = await courier.lists.send({
  event: "<EVENT_ID>", // get from the Courier UI
  pattern: "<PATTERN>", // e.g. example.list.*
  data: {}, // optional variables for merging into templates
});

Environment Variables

courier-node supports credential storage in environment variables. If no authorizationToken is provided when instantiating the Courier client (e.g., const courier = CourierClient();), the value in the COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var will be used.

If you need to use a base url other than the default https://api.courier.com, you can set it using the COURIER_BASE_URL env var.

Idempotency

For POST methods, you can supply an idempotencyKey in the config parameter to ensure the idempotency of the API Call. We recommend that you use a V4 UUID for the key. Keys are eligible to be removed from the system after they're at least 24 hours old, and a new request is generated if a key is reused after the original has been removed. For more info, see Idempotent Requests in the Courier Documentation.

import { CourierClient } from "@trycourier/courier";
import uuid4 from "uuid4";

const courier = CourierClient();
const idempotencyKey = uuid4();

async function run() {
  const { messageId } = await courier.send(
    {
      eventId: "<EVENT_ID>",
      recipientId: "<RECIPIENT_ID>",
      profile: {
        email: "[e-mail]",
        phone_number: "555-867-5309",
      },
      data: {
        world: "JavaScript!",
      },
    },
    {
      idempotencyKey,
    }
  );
  console.log(messageId);
}
