Mailjet API extension for TYPO3

What does it do?

This extension uses the Mailjet API so users can subscribe to your newsletter(s) and be added to your Mailjet mailing list(s). It comes with two plugins. One with the mailjet subscription form and one with the mailjet verification form.

You can customize the subscription form to your individual (Mailjet) needs. You can choose which fields should be displayed and how they are mapped to the corresponding contact fields in Mailjet, which field(s) should be used for the receiver name and which field should be used for the email.

Requirements

• TYPO3 >= 11.5.0
• PHP >= 7.4
• Mailjet API key and secret key

Installation

composer require "passionweb/mailjet-api"

• Install the extension via composer
• Add the necessary RouteEnhancer (see #necessary-routeenhancer)
• Add your Mailjet API key and secret key to the extension configuration before using the extension
• Flush TYPO3 and PHP Cache

Configuration

Necessary RouteEnhancer

• Add the following RouteEnhancer to the section routeEnhancers in your site configuration (config.yaml):

Frontend configuration "enforceValidation" and "excludedParameters" (TYPO3 v12)

You need to add the contact_id parameter to the excludedParameters if you don't use the limitToPages option of the RouteEnhancer and if it should be possible to call the same page (where your mailjet verification plugin is included) with the contact_id as an argument and without the contact_id.

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['cacheHash'] = [
    'enforceValidation' => true,
    'excludedParameters' => [
        'contact_id',
    ],
];
