Error: Cannot find module 'mailgun'

Seems that the mailgun module is not present.

run npm install mailgun to install it (npm install --save mailgun if you wish to have it when you deploy)

[tailord]

I am not getting the following error:

TypeError: mailgun.initialize is not a function

main.js

// Email

var mailgun = require("mailgun");

mailgun.initialize("name", "key");
Parse.Cloud.define("sendEmail", function(request, response) {
mailgun.sendEmail({
to: request.params.to,
from: " Tailor'd postmaster@tailordapp.com",
subject: request.params.subject,
text: request.params.text
}, {
success: function(httpResponse) { response.success("Email sent!"); },
error: function(httpResponse) { response.error("Error: " + request.params + " to: " + request.params.to + " subject: " + request.params.subject + " text: " + request.params.text); }
});
});

[flovilmart]

It seems that you're not implementing mailgun correctly and that your cloud code hasn't been migrated yet.

Please look over mailgun node module documentation.

We don't provide code level support.
