How to create a subscriber with properties/profile attributes?

[rahilsondhi]

Got it working like this: 💥

subscriber.properties = {
  'EmailAddress' => '[email protected]',
  'Lists' => [{'ID' => LISTID}],
  'Attributes' => [
    {'Name' => 'Full Name', 'Value' => 'John Doe'}
  ]
}

Things that should be fixed to make this more clear:

• This documentation is wrong on this page. Line 6 in the screenshot results in NoMethodError: undefined method props for #<FuelSDK::Subscriber:0x00000108d62668> and if you do properties instead you get TypeError: no implicit conversion of String into Integer💩
  • However, this section on the same page is very helpful and that info should be included in this gem somewhere.
• The sample files included in this gem (possibly profile attributes and add subscriber to list) should include an example of creating a subscriber with attributes.

@rahilsondhi @creatovisguru Can you tell me how can I get profile attributes list.

I need profile attributes list to map with my application fields. I am refering this API https://code.exacttarget.com/apis-sdks/fuel-sdks/index.html. In that I not found to get list of profile attributes

Thanks in advance.

Try looking at this sample: https://github.com/ExactTarget/FuelSDK-Ruby/blob/master/samples/sample-profileattribute.rb

There is code in there that retrieves attributes.

@tkauble I checked that example but I am getting error on this line
getProfileAttribute = ET_ProfileAttribute.new
NameError: uninitialized constant ET_ProfileAttribute

I am using fuelsdk (0.1.0) gem. Is it any issue with gem version?

[tkauble]

Did you try to run the test – you could just comment out the parts other than the retrieve. If the test doesn’t run at all, it more than likely is a gem conflict – let me know!

@tkauble
I checked it's conflict with gem version. Now I have fork master branch and using this and now it's working.

Where you planning to release latest changes.

Thanks for your help
