This page is filled with snippets that cover almost every API endpoint and action. Copy, Paste, Go! There will be little inline documentation in these samples, please consult Mailgun's official documentation for detailed information.
If you haven't already installed the SDK, go to the README and follow the installation instructions.
These snippets require that you pipe in a few parameters. "mg_client" is instantiated like so:
require 'mailgun'
mg_client = Mailgun::Client.new "your-api-key" **Send a basic message: **
data = {:from => 'bob@sending_domain.com',
:to => 'sally@example.com',
:subject => 'The Ruby SDK is awesome!',
:text => 'It is really easy to send a message!'}
mg_client.send_message "sending_domain.com", dataSend a multipart text/html message:
data = {:from => 'bob@sending_domain.com',
:to => 'sally@example.com',
:subject => 'The Ruby SDK is awesome!',
:text => 'This is the text part.',
:html => '<html><body><p>This is the HTML part.</p></body></html>'}
mg_client.send_message "sending_domain.com", dataSend a custom MIME message:
# Don't include a file, pull the file to a string
mime_string = '
From: Bob Sample <example@example.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="--boundary-goes-here--"
Your Multipart MIME body
--boundary-goes-here--
Content-Type: text/plain
This is the text part of your message.
--boundary-goes-here--'
# The envelope recipient is defined here, as well as your MIME string
data = {:to => 'sally@example.com', :message => mime_string}
mg_client.send_message "sending_domain.com", dataBuild a message, part by part, with Message Builder:
mb_obj = Mailgun::MessageBuilder.new
mb_obj.set_from_address :from, "sender@example.com", {'first' => 'Sending', 'last' => 'User'}
mb_obj.add_recipient :to, "recipient@example.com", {'first' => 'Recipient', 'last' => 'User'}
mb_obj.set_subject :subject, "This is the subject!"
mb_obj.set_text_body :text, "This is the text body."
mg_client.send_message "sending_domain.com", mb_objSend batches of 1000 messages per post:
bm_obj = Mailgun::BatchMessage.new
# Build message using Message Builder
bm_obj.set_from_address :from, "sender@example.com", {'first' => 'Sending', 'last' => 'User'}
bm_obj.set_message_id("<20141014000000.11111.11111@example.com>") # optional
bm_obj.set_subject :subject, "This is the subject!"
bm_obj.set_text_body :text, "This is the text body."
# Loop and add unlimited recipients (batch jobs will fire when thresholds reached)
bm_obj.add_recipient :to, "a_user@example.com"
