Pokey::Sendgrid

Sensible defaults to emulate Sendgrid data on development/QA using Pokey hooks.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pokey-sendgrid'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pokey-sendgrid

If this is your first installation (and you're on Rails), run

$ rails g pokey:install

This will create an initializer file that defines your hook_dir (the location where all hooks will be defined). Just create a new file in that directory that inherits from Pokey::Sendgrid::Hook.

Simple example:

class SendgridHook < Pokey::Sendgrid::Hook
  # Your Sendgrid webhook endpoint
  def destination
    # Defaults to /api/sendgrid/events
    "http://localhost:3000/api/sendgrid/events"
  end

  # Time (in seconds) between Pokey requests
  def interval
    5 # Defaults to 5
  end
end

This gem also supports dynamic categories / unique arguments when generating data. To use:

class SendgridHook < Pokey::SendgridHook
  def categories
    [
      ["User", "Welcome Email"],
      ["Billing", "Payment Successful"]
    ]
  end

  def unique_args
    {
      "custom-identifier" => 15
    }
  end
end

By default, Pokey::Sendgrid will generate all types of SendGrid events:

• processed
• dropped
• delivered
• deferred
• bounce
• open
• click
• spam_report
• unsubscribe
• group_unsubscribe
• group_resubscribe

To limit the amount of events your application receives, override the sendgrid_events method like so:

class SendgridHook < Pokey::SendgridHook
  protected

  # Limits events to only "Open" and "Click"
  def sendgrid_events
    ["open", "click"]
  end
end

If you're on rails, just start your server. Otherwise, start your application.

Here's an example request:

 INFO  Pokey::Logger : Made request to localhost:3000 with following data: {"timestamp"=>1439864701, "category"=>nil, "event"=>"dropped", "email"=>"dwight_kerluke@blick.co", "smtp-id"=>"ejaeym5uxil_3v2fm3qjzf0@tremblay.mail"}
