3. Edit your composer.json and add the repository source, and set the version of the sdk to match dev-[branch] as 1.0.7 where 1.0.7 is the version you wish to target if this branch was merged to master

   {
     "name": "esendex/php-sdk-test",
     "require": {
       "esendex/sdk": "dev-Add-Survey-API-integration as 1.0.7"
     },
     "authors": [

     ],

         "url": "https://github.com/esendex/esendex-php-sdk"
       }
     ]
   }
