{
try
{
// Create an email template
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
// Better you create a class for request and serialize it here...
var request = "{\"accountId\": 17,\"name\": \"name_of_the_template\",\"subject\": \"Subject of the email\",\"body\":
\"html> <head> </head> <body> Dear {{name}} {{surname}}, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domain.com\/\">Please click the link.</a> <body> </html>\",\"poolId\": 8,\"mode\": \"HTML\",\"publicId\": \"JanNewsletter20200319",\"preHeader\":\"preheader_of_email\",\"fromid\": 15,\"replyId\": 12}";

var msg = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, uri);

var result = string.Empty;
HttpContent content = response.Content;
using (Task<string> completedTask = content.ReadAsStringAsync())
{
result = completedTask.Result;
completedTask.Dispose();
}
// If success, again you better create a class for api response and deserialize it here...
return result;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(ex);
return null;
}
}
accountId: This parameter must be given to you before you start developing.
publicId: Unique template id. If you don't give an id for the template, the system creates its own public id and puts this id in response. This parameter is used in SendBatch to define the template.
You can get the following ids by calling Configuration > GetSendParams function.
replyId: The id for reply address. This parameter must be created beforehand.
fromId: The id for from address. from nam/from address pair must be created beforehand.
poolId: The id for from pool. This parameter must be created beforehand.
The followings are optional parameters.
