email task for dataflows
Batch sending of emails
- supports templates
- doesn't support guaranteed delivery of emails
- doesn't support guaranteed sending of emails (sends to smtp transport)
However, transport errors logged to console as warnings.
The task is completed as soon as all required fields for email sending are present and all emails are forwarded to smtp transport for sending.
If there are problems with template, contents or recipients list task will fail.
Tests have usage examples for dataflows and standalone.
fields - email fields to send. If we're using recipients list email fields structure will be used as defaults
fields = {
from: {String},
to: {Array|String},
cc: {String}, // optional
bcc: {String}, // optional
subject: {String},
text: {String}, // hardcoded text
html : {String}, // hardcoded html
template : {String}, // template directory to use by [email-templates](https://github.com/niftylettuce/node-email-templates)
attachments: {Array} // optional
}vars - variables to expand in template
transport - transport parameters
var mandrillTransport = {
plugin: "nodemailer-mandrill-transport",
config: {
auth: {apiKey: "kNjbd7IINJy5bEMf19sf2A"}
}
}
var sendmailTransport = {
"plugin": "nodemailer-sendmail-transport",
"config": {
"path": "sendmail",
"args": []
}
};Without dataflows project you need to pass whole transport configuration in transport key and can use full paths for templates (absolute or within current dir)
