Sending emails in Node.js? [closed]

Answer 1

You could always use AlphaMail (disclosure: I'm one of the developers behind it).

Just install with NPM:

npm install alphamail

Sign up for a AlphaMail account. Get a token, and then you can start sending with the AlphaMail service.

var alphamail = require('alphamail');

var emailService = new alphamail.EmailService()
    .setServiceUrl('http://api.amail.io/v1/')
    .setApiToken('YOUR-ACCOUNT-API-TOKEN-HERE');

var person = {
    id: 1234,
    userName: "jdoe75",
    name: {
        first: "John",
        last: "Doe"
    },
    dateOfBirth: 1975
};

emailService.queue(new alphamail.EmailMessagePayload()
    .setProjectId(12345) // ID of your AlphaMail project (determines template, options, etc)
    .setSender(new alphamail.EmailContact("Sender Company Name", "from@example.com"))
    .setReceiver(new alphamail.EmailContact("John Doe", "to@example.org"))
    .setBodyObject(person) // Any serializable object
);

And in the AlphaMail GUI (Dashboard) you'll be able to edit the template with the data you sent:

    
        Name: <# payload.name.last " " payload.name.first #>

        Date of Birth: <# payload.dateOfBirth #>


        <# if (payload.id != null) { #>
            Sign Up Free!
        <# } else { #>
            Sign In
        <# } #>
    

The templates are written in Comlang, it's a simple template language specifically designed for emails.
