Sending data (server)

Each request(trace) can be sent either through the browser or server side. In order to re-identify customers after they leave their email address (login, register, sign up for newsletter etc). edrone adds unique identifiers stored inside cookies(first-party&third-party) or localStorage to each request. Even after customers are logged out from the store, edrone is able to re-identifiy them. This is the main reason why the browser is a default option.

In cases when the store has access to customer email, those additional identifieres are not needed anymore.

You will find cases (based on action_type) where store can send request via server below:

Subscription Change
The "subscribe" event allows to change customer subscription status. It's important to change field "sender_type" to server. Subscription change won't work without that.

<?php
  function subscriptionChange(){
    $edroneData = 'version=' . '1.0.0' .
       '&app_id=' . 'YOUR APP ID' .
       '&email=' . 'email@example.pl' .
       'subscriber_status=' . '0/1' .
       '&action_type=' . 'subscribe' .
       '&sender_type=' . 'server';
       return $edroneData;
    }

  function httpPost($url, $params) {
     $ch = curl_init();
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($params));
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
     $output = curl_exec($ch);
     curl_close($ch);
     return $output;
  }
  httpPost('https://api.edrone.me/trace', subscriptionChange());

Order cancel
The "order_cancel" event allows marking orders in edrone CRM system as deleted.

<?php
  function orderCancel(){
    $edroneData = 'version=' . '1.0.0' .
       '&app_id=' . 'YOUR APP ID' .
       '&email=' . 'email@example.pl' .
       '&order_id=' . '00001' .
       '&action_type=' . 'order_cancel' .
       '&sender_type=' . 'server';
       return $edroneData;
    }

  function httpPost($url, $params) {
     $ch = curl_init();
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($params));
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
     $output = curl_exec($ch);
     curl_close($ch);
     return $output;
  }
  httpPost('https://api.edrone.me/trace', orderCancel());

Order

<?php
  function order(){
    $$edroneData = 'version=' . '1.0.0' .

        '&event_utc_date=' . $order->event_date .
        '&utc_time=' . utcNow();
    return $edroneData;
    }
