Messages Email API

Microservice implemented from Messages Core is responsible for sending emails through several providers such as Sendgrid, Mandrill or AWS SES.

As explained in the Messages Core repository, it can be seen that there are three models, messages, channel and provider. To know more you can read the readme of Messages Core.

Channels

Corresponds to the type of notification that could be sent, for this there must be the implementation of that channel as a gRPC service through an API.

Providers

The provider is an attribute of channel and allows to identify what types of messages are available for a specific channel.

In this api we will find the implementation of only 3 providers. Find Providers implementation at the ./provider folder.
