Email to users with Dynamic Data with API

Forgive me, I am brand new to APIs…

I have created a full app where users can create events for people to join based on a series of filters and criteria. Is it possible to send emails weekly to users with the events that were created this week? I am trying to learn about APIs, but basically I want to send emails with dynamic data and list events within a location radius of the recipient and fitting their criteria once a week. Basically, like zillow’s “newest houses on the market for you” kind of thing.

Anyone know if this is possible with APIs or have a tutorial on this?

Thanks!

Jessica, sure is possible.

TLDR is you’d find the relevant events as you would for a RG. Then send the relevant details of each event (list formatted as text) to your email vendor (hopefully not SendGrid).

IF you are able to group users, say by city, then you can save a lot of WUs by sending a mass email to all users in that city as one email.

Yeah, definitely not using sendgrid, its way too basic, lookin at Klaviyo.

I can absolutely send in bulk by city, I’m launching incrementally by city, so that will keep it simple. Is setting up an API the way to do this? Do you know of any tutorials or courses you’d recommend?

It’s not really setting up a API persay; it’s one post to the email vendor with the body and recipients (just a FYI so you don’t get overwhelmed by it).
