mailer

Simple transactional mailer middleware. Listens for POST HTTP requests using webserver, sends emails using provider API upon request.

To send an email you need to send POST request to /send endpoint with data being form-encoded (header application/x-www-form-urlencoded).

Features

• Multiple transactional mail providers

  • Mandrill
  • Mailgun
  • SpartPost
  • TODO: SendGrid

• MJML templates support (if mjml app is available)

• Simplest API possible

• Async send

Authentication

Authentication is done via tokens, configured in configuration file. Token should be sent in HTTP Header:

Authorization: <secret-token>

Data

Data is provided as JSON document of the following format:

{
    "subject": "Hello message",
    "text": "Hello, world!",
    "html": "<h1>Hello, world!</h1>",
    "mjml": "<mjml>Some mjml markup</mjml>",
    "from": {
        "name": "pavel",
        "address": "schmooser@gmail.com"
    },
    "to": [
        {
            "name": "pavel",
            "address": "schmooser+to@gmail.com"
        }
    ],
    "cc": [
        {
            "name": "pavel",
            "address": "schmooser+cc@gmail.com"
        }
    ],
    "bcc": [
        {
            "name": "pavel",
            "address": "schmooser+bcc@gmail.com"
        }
    ]
}

Note, that if html parameter is provided, then mjml parameter is ignored. If both text and html (or mjml) parameters are provided then resulting email will have both html and text parts (what part will be visible by user depends on user mail client software).

Return codes

Application returns result in JSON encoded format.

Structure of response:

{"Status": "<status>", "Message": "<message>"}

• Status - can be either ok, or error. If error then corresponding non-200 HTTP return code will be returned
• Message - string, explaining status message

Requirements

1. Go runtime
2. MJML when using mjml templates

Example

1. Configure config.toml file and set up transactional mail provider. See config-example.toml for example.

2. Run it via docker:

   docker run -d --name mailer -p 1233:1233 -v /path/to/config/toml:/config.toml schmooser/go-mailer

3. Send test email

   curl -X POST -H "Authorization: token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{ "subject": "Hello from Mailer app", "text": "Hello, world!", "html": "", "from": { "name": "Mailer App", "address": "some@one.com" }, "to": [ { "name": "recipient", "address": "hellomailer1234@mailinator.com" } ] }' "http://your.domain.com:1233/send"
