Mailgun Contact Form

About

This is a very simple project to do the following:

• Receive a POST from an HTML form - expected parameters are

  • from_name
  • from_email
  • title
  • body

  And the Content-Type should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

• Convert that POST into an email to a pre-defined email address, via Mailgun's API

• Redirect to a predefined URL with the parameters status and message (if status is error)

That's it - it's very simple
