Building SparkPost4J

Basic Send Email Example

package com.sparkpost;

import com.sparkpost.exception.SparkPostException;

public class SparkPost {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws SparkPostException {
        String API_KEY = "YOUR API KEY HERE!!!";
        Client client = new Client(API_KEY);

        client.sendMessage(
                "you@yourdomain.com",
                "to@sparkpost.com",
                "The subject of the message",
                "The text part of the email",
                "<b>The HTML part of the email</b>");

    }
}

Advanced Send Email Example

With SparkPost you have complete control over all aspects of an email and a powerful tempting solution.

private void sendEmail(String from, String[] recipients, String email) throws SparkPostException {
	TransmissionWithRecipientArray transmission = new TransmissionWithRecipientArray();

	// Populate Recipients
	List<RecipientAttributes> recipientArray = new ArrayList<RecipientAttributes>();
	for (String recipient : recipients) {
	RecipientAttributes recipientAttribs = new RecipientAttributes();
		recipientAttribs.setAddress(new AddressAttributes(recipient));
		recipientArray.add(recipientAttribs);
	}
	transmission.setRecipientArray(recipientArray);

	transmission.setReturnPath(from);

	// Populate Substitution Data
	Map<String, String> substitutionData = new HashMap<String, String>();
	substitutionData.put("from", from);
	transmission.setSubstitutionData(substitutionData);

	// Populate Email Body
	TemplateContentAttributes contentAttributes = new TemplateContentAttributes();
	contentAttributes.setEmailRFC822(email);
	transmission.setContentAttributes(contentAttributes);

	// Send the Email
	RestConnection connection = new RestConnection(client, getEndPoint());
	Response response = ResourceTransmissions.create(connection, 0, transmission);

	logger.debug("Transmission Response: " + response);
}
