You can send email notifications to your users from anywhere in your application.
Emails use a JSON template for content - no need to wrestle with HTML tables. The JSON is then injected into an email template located in the /emails directory.
You can also use a custom HTML template by passing the name of the file as a custom value.
Sending Notifications to Yourself
If you wish to send a notification to yourself, you can use the mail utility endpoint:
POST/api/utility/mail
​
// accepts
{
name:'from-name',
email:'from-email-address',
message:'message body'
}
This will send an email to the address stored in SUPPORT_EMAIL environment variable. You can see an example of this in the /help view.
Using Other Mail Providers
The mailing logic is isolated in model/mail with a raw API call, so if you'd like to use a provider other than Mailgun, you can simply update this API call in one location.
