# ExactTarget integration

 *  Resolved [jpresley23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpresley23/)

 * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exacttarget-integration/)
 * I’m trying to integrate a form with ExactTarget. I have tried the ExactTarget
   plugin but it is out of date and does not support Data Extensions Manager with
   the Web Collect API which is what the company I work for uses. ExactTarget specifies
   an errorURL field and a successURL field. I haven’t been able to figure out if
   there is a return URL that is provided by 3rd Party Integration plugin that is
   used create the success or the error messages. Our goal is to keep people on 
   our website without sending them to an error or success page.
 * The documentation from ExactTarget’s Web Collect Data Extension Manager is at
   [https://help.exacttarget.com/en/documentation/exacttarget/subscribers/web_collect/#DEManager](https://help.exacttarget.com/en/documentation/exacttarget/subscribers/web_collect/#DEManager).
 * Thank you for your help.

 * To clarify I just need to know if there is an url I can pass to ExactTarget for
   their required fields. For example, another site our company owns uses
 * _successURL = [http://site/path/to/form?success](http://site/path/to/form?success)
   
   _errorURL = [http://site/path/to/form?error](http://site/path/to/form?error)
 * and then the page processes the response.

 * After further working with this tool, it looks like the issue is that the service
   sends a redirect depending upon whether there is a success or failure. More explicitly,
   if there is an error, the page is redirected to _errorURL and if there the request
   is successful the page is redirected to _successURL. I have a script which is
   enqueued for the form which can handle the query, but it looks like the redirect
   is not passed along. What sort of hook would be needed to allow the redirect 
   to pass through?

 * After doing some research it looks like the issue is with the wp_remote_post()
   function which passes along the html of the post response instead of redirecting
   the user to the url which the service sends back. In other words, if I write 
   the html for a form in a WordPress post, the user is redirected to either the
   _successURL or the _errorURL that the service sends back. With this plugin, which
   relies on wp_remote_post(), the contents of the url are passed back to the [body]
   field in the Response array.
 * The solution I’ve used so far is to create a plugin which, among other things,
   includes two php files. One is success.php and the other is error.php. Their 
   only content is whatever message I want passed into the [body] field of the response
   array from wp_remote_post().
 * This seems to be a limit to WordPress’s HTTP API. The Codex seem to indicate 
   there’s some means to redirect, but so far I haven’t been able to figure it out.
   It would be a nice feature to have the option to have the user redirected. In
   the meantime I will mark this issue resolved. It seems that I’ll need to use 
   either a hook in this plugin or with Gravity Forms to process the confirmation
   message.

 * Hi, sorry you couldn’t get it figured out to your satisfaction.
 * You should be able to specify the maximum number of allowed redirects in [`wp_remote_post` (see Examples section)](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_remote_post#Examples),
   which isn’t normally exposed in this plugin but you can use the hook [`...service_filter_args`](https://github.com/zaus/forms-3rdparty-integration/blob/master/forms-3rdparty-integration.php#L441)
   to add it in ([a la hook #5](https://github.com/zaus/forms-3rdparty-integration#hooks)).
   This should then go to the success/error urls you specified, unless they haven’t
   set up proper redirects (not sure if they have, because usually the `response_code`
   is 30x for a redirect, rather than the 200 reported here).
 * I did notice this field appearing in the response body —
    `<input type="hidden"
   name="redirect_to" value="http://wp.test1.com/blogscrubbed/?exacttargetresult
   =failure&errMsg=An+error+occurred+updating+the+data+extension" />`
 * I didn’t see `exacttargetresult=success` also in the response, so maybe you could
   simply set the plugin “success condition” to look for that instead? If you wanted
   to report the `errMsg` you’d have to use [hook #6](https://github.com/zaus/forms-3rdparty-integration#hooks)
   to parse the response body for the message and report it back.

 * Sorry, I didn’t see your reply until now. What I did was set the success condition
   to “success”. The only content for success.php was the word “success”. So upon
   success, that was the only word in the `[body]` portion of the response.
