Getting error code: 711 - Invalid folder type for email

screenshot?

The error codes are not well documented, so you can try asking Support, though I've rarely received a clear response on any error code.

@Sanford Whiteman​ ?

Can you show us your request and a screenshot of where you're trying to do this in Marketo - which exact folder you are using?

For those who have asked, here's the screenshot

I'm referring to the NOCTest folder and NOCEmail email. Here's the response:

Here's my code:

<?php

$email = new CreateEmail();

$email->name = "NOCEmail";

$email->folder = new stdClass();

$email->folder->id = 1176;

$email->folder->type = "Folder";

$email->template = 1007;

$email->subject = "This email was created with an api call";

print_r($email->postData());

class CreateEmail{

  private $host = "mydetails";

  private $clientId = "mydetails";

  private $clientSecret = "mydetails";

  public $name;//name of new email, required - NOCEmai

  public $folder;//json object with two members, id and type(Folder or Program), required

  public $template;//id of parent template

  public $description;//optional description of new

  public $subject;//subject line of new email

  public $fromName;//from name of new email

  public $fromEmail;//from email of new email

  public $replyEmail;//reply to address of new email

  public $operational;//boolean operational status of email

  public function postData(){

  $url = $this->host . "/rest/asset/v1/emails.json?access_token=" . $this->getToken();

  $ch = curl_init($url);

  $requestBody = $this->bodyBuilder();

  curl_setopt($ch,  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('accept: application/json'));

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $requestBody);

  curl_getinfo($ch);

  $response = curl_exec($ch);

  return $response;

  }

  private function getToken(){

  $ch = curl_init($this->host . "/identity/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=" . $this->clientId . "&client_secret=" . $this->clientSecret);

  curl_setopt($ch,  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('accept: application/json',));

  $response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));

  curl_close($ch);

  $token = $response->access_token;

  return $token;

  // print_r($response->access_token);

  // return 'd10bb0bc-e849-4e09-9104-daf496177d31:lon';

  }

  private function bodyBuilder(){

  $requestBody = "&name=" . $this->name . "&folder=" . json_encode($this->folder) . "&template=" . $this->template;

  if (isset($this->description)){

  $requestBody .= "&description=" . $this->description;

  }

  if (isset($this->subject)){

  $requestBody .= "&subject=" . $this->subject;

  }

  if (isset($this->fromName)){

  $requestBody .= "&fromName=" . $this->fromName;

  }

  if (isset($this->fromEmail)){

  $requestBody .= "&fromEmail=" . $this->fromEmail;

  }

  if (isset($this->replyEmail)){

  $requestBody .= "&replyEmail" . $this->replyEmail;

  }

  if (isset($this->operational)){

  $requestBody .= "&operational=" . $this->operational;

  }

  return $requestBody;

  }

}

I don't know php but I believe you can't refer to the folder when the email is actually in a program. You need to refer to the program name and number with the type of Program instead of type of Folder. Programs, although they aren't folders in the UI, also have folder numbers (which may differ from their program number in the UI), and you can query those through the API. I'm pretty sure that will fix your issue.
