Add a Strive class

[thebbennett]

Hello nerds,

Another vague and open ended issue, so my apologies, but it could be useful to have a wrapper for the Strive API in Parsons.

Here's some code I wrote with the help of Strive staff to push data to Strive for a text campaign

def send_contacts_to_strive(df_for_strive):
    """
    Takes the data frame from the `prepare_data` function and sends each contact
    to Strive and adds them to the "EA API member" group.
    """

    if len(df_for_strive) != 0:
        print("New folk to welcome! Let's send to Strive. They'll handle any deduping.")

        strive_headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + strive_key}

        for index, row in df_for_strive.iterrows():
            phone_number = row['Phone']
            first_name = row['FirstName']
            if pd.isnull(first_name):
                first_name = "Friend"
            last_name = row['LastName']
            if pd.isnull(last_name):
                last_name = "Friend"
            payload = {
				    "phone_number": phone_number,
				    "campaign_id": campaign_id,
				    "first_name": first_name,
				    "last_name": last_name,
				    "opt_in": True,
				      "groups": [
				        {
				          "name": "EA API Member"
				        }
       				]
                    }
            response = requests.request("POST", 'https://api.strivedigital.org/members', headers = strive_headers, data = json.dumps(payload))
            if response.status_code == 201:
            	print(f"Successfully added: {first_name} {last_name}")
            else:
            	print(f"Was not able to add {first_name} {last_name} to Stive. Error: {response.status_code}")

    else:
    	print("No contacts to send to Strive.")

Here are some instructions related to automating text campaigns
https://github.com/sunrisedatadept/a-faster-welcome-text

This script works by sending contacts to an Automation flow we've set up in Strive. You must first send at least 1 contact to Strive via the API for this feature to be available. We are taking advantage of the fact that Strive never sends a welcome text to the same person.

1. Navigate to the Automation section on the left sidebar in your campaign.
2. Automations > API > Create API automation
3. Name your automation
4. Set the trigger to "New member is added via API"
5. Choose the Flow
6. Create your automation
