eCards with Donate API

mark.ajws · March 2009

From the donate API documentation:

Q: Can my custom form include eCards?

A: Yes.

Can someone explain how this is possible as it's not referenced in the documentation? There is no field to put in any kind of recipient email address into the api post so I can't quite figure out how it would work.

Anyone have some experience with this?

I tried to do this in december of last year . . . it is not acutally possible . . .

i remember finding that it is a feature they are going to support, but it is not functional yet . . .

I would love to be wrong about this though . . .

we ended up creating a normal ecard page, then gave the user the option to send an ECard after they donated

we ended up hacking the hell out of the ecard page with javascript until we got the look and functionality we wanted

It looks to me like it should work. The code is at least trying to do it.

The parameters required are:

ecard.id
ecard.send (must be "true")
ecard.recipients
ecard.subject
ecard.message

The optional parameters are ecard.copy_sender and ecard.send_date.

I have never personally tried it, but I'll give it a shot.

Hi Dave,

Did you end up testing this functionality out? It looks to me like it should work too but I thought I'd check and make sure before I ran down the wrong path.

Thanks,

Joe
