dataflows-task-mail

email task for dataflows

Batch sending of emails

• supports templates
• doesn't support guaranteed delivery of emails
• doesn't support guaranteed sending of emails (sends to smtp transport)

However, transport errors logged to console as warnings.

The task is completed as soon as all required fields for email sending are present and all emails are forwarded to smtp transport for sending.

If there are problems with template, contents or recipients list task will fail.

Synopsis

Tests have usage examples for dataflows and standalone.

Parameters

fields - email fields to send. If we're using recipients list email fields structure will be used as defaults

fields = {
    from: {String},
    to: {Array|String},
    cc: {String}, // optional
    bcc: {String}, // optional
    subject: {String},
    text: {String}, // hardcoded text
    html : {String}, // hardcoded html
    template : {String}, // template directory to use by [email-templates](https://github.com/niftylettuce/node-email-templates)
    attachments: {Array} // optional
}

vars - variables to expand in template

transport - transport parameters

var mandrillTransport = {
    plugin: "nodemailer-mandrill-transport",
    config: {
        auth: {apiKey: "kNjbd7IINJy5bEMf19sf2A"}
    }
}
 
var sendmailTransport = {
    "plugin": "nodemailer-sendmail-transport",
    "config": {
        "path": "sendmail",
        "args": []
    }
};

Without dataflows project you need to pass whole transport configuration in transport key and can use full paths for templates (absolute or within current dir)
