Sendex

In a terminal, go to Sendex folder and type iex -S mix to compile and start the application.

Once in iex, type Sendex.help to get a short notice on how to use the application.

To send a customized email to all the recipients present in the file, just type Sendex.send_all(file_path, template_path, attachments_list); file_path being a .csv file formatted as below; template_path being a Phoenix_html .html.eex file and attachments_list being a keyword list with :img and :attachment keys (:img is to embed an attached image into the email, attachment is for an attached document, like a .pdf for example).

The email template should be stored in ./priv/templates/; the email attachments should be stored in ./priv/attachments/; the CSV file containing the list of recipients can be stored in ./priv/spreadsheets/; the result of the sending will be stored in ./priv/results/.

Right now, the CSV file should be formatted as follow (because I had to work with a CSV file having this format): "title", "name", _, _, _, _, "city", "mail", _, _ .

• Title is how you call the recipient (ex: "M.", "Ms.");
• Name is the recipient's name (full or just family name, ex: "Smith" or "John Smith");
• City is the city the recipient works in (used to customize the email title and body);
• Mail is the email address the email will be sent to;
• _ are unimportant columns that you can use for your personal needs; for example, if you need more fields to customize your email, you can dedicate a column to: recipient's job position, recipient's age, recipient's nickname, recipient's id, etc. Note that you'll need to update the %Recipient{} model and the build_mailing_list/1 function in order to make the application work with your columns.

I used Sendgrid to send the emails, but feel free to change the Swoosh adapter in the config to use your favorite service.
