Sidio.MailBluster

Sidio.MailBluster is an unofficial C# SDK for the MailBluster API. This package is not yet fully feature complete, see the feature status below. If you encounter any issues or have recommendations, feel free to create an issue or a pull request.

⚠️ On the debug log level, sensitive data will be logged. It is highly recommended to disable the debug log level on production systems and/or configure redaction. See the logging and compliance section of this readme.

Installation

Add the package to your project.

Usage

Options

{
  "MailBluster:Url": "https://api.mailbluster.com/api/",
  "MailBluster:ApiKey": "your-api-key"
}

Dependency injection

services.AddMailBluster();

Using the client

public class MyClass
{
    private readonly IMailBlusterClient _client;

    public MyClass(IMailBlusterClient client)
    {
        _client = client;        
    }

     public async Task GetLeads()
     {
          var lead = await _client.GetLeadAsync("noreply@sidio.nl");
    }
}

Logging and compliance

The MailBluster client writes logs on the Debug level. The logs contain the request and response data. Sensitive information, such as names, ip addresses and email addresses, are redacted using the Microsoft.Extensions.Compliance.Redaction framework. To use the default implementation, use:

builder.Services.AddRedaction(
    rb =>
    {
        rb.AddMailBlusterCompliance();
    });

Currently, there are three types of classifications, which will be redacted as follows:

• Personally identifiable information: values will be replaced with asterisks except for the first character (classification MailBlusterDataTaxonomy.PersonallyIdentifiableInformation)
  • Email address: will be redacted from for example noreply@sidio.nl to n******@*****.** (classification MailBlusterDataTaxonomy.EmailAddressInformation)
• Sensitive information: values will be replaced with asterisks except for the first character (classification MailBlusterDataTaxonomy.SensitiveInformation)

A fully configured example with JSON logging:

// install packages:
// - Microsoft.Extensions.Telemetry
// - Microsoft.Extensions.Compliance.Redaction
builder.Services.AddLogging(
    x =>
    {
        x.EnableRedaction();
        
        // json logging enables logging of the request and response data
        x.ClearProviders();
        x.AddJsonConsole(option => option.JsonWriterOptions = new JsonWriterOptions
        {
            Indented = true
        });
        
        x.Services.AddRedaction(
            rb =>
            {
                rb.AddMailBlusterCompliance();
            });
    });

Integration tests

Integration tests are available in the Sidio.MailBluster.Integration.Tests project. To run the tests, add the following configuration file local.settings.json:

{
  "MAILBLUSTER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}

Note:

• The integration tests will create, update and delete data in your MailBluster brand associated with the API key.
• In order to run the tests for Fields, a pro account is required.

Troubleshooting

Sensitive data is not redacted in the logs

Install these packages in your solution:

• Microsoft.Extensions.Telemetry
• Microsoft.Extensions.Compliance.Redaction

Ensure that the Redaction framework is configured correctly.
