SendWithUsMailer

Send With Us is a service that provides a convenient way for non-developers to create and edit the email content from your app. Send With Us created a gem, send_with_us, that communicates to their service using their low-level RESTful API.

Ruby on Rails developers are familiar with the ActionMailer interface for sending email. This gem implements a small layer over the send_with_us gem that provides and ActionMailer-like API.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'send_with_us_mailer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install send_with_us_mailer

(TODO)

Mailer models inherit from SendWithUsMailer::Base. A mailer model defines methods used to generate an email message. In these methods, you can assign variables to be sent to the Send With Us service and options on the mail itself such as the :from address.

class Notifier < SendWithUsMailer::Base
    default from: 'no-reply@example.com'

    def welcome(recipient)
        assign(:account, recipient)
        mail(email_id: 'ID-CODE-FROM-SEND-WITH-US', to: recipient.email)
    end
end

Within the mailer method, you have access to the following methods:

• assign - Allows you to assign key-value pairs that will be data payload used by Send With Us within the email.
• mail - Allows you to specify the email to be sent.

Once a mailer action is defined, you can deliver your message or create it and save it for delivery later:

Notifier.welcome(david).deliver # sends the email

mail = Notifier.welcome(david)  # => a SendWithUsMailer::MailParams object
mail.deliver                    # sends the email

You never instantiate your mailer class. Rather, you just call the method you defined on the class itself.

SendWithUsMailer allows you to specify default values inside the class definition:

class Notifier < SendWithUsMailer::Base
    default from: 'system@example.com'
end
