Sendgrid
Send an email to a user.
const sendgrid = require('@sendgrid/mail') sendgrid.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY) export default async (req, res) => { let response; try { response = await sendgrid.send({ to: req.body.to, from: req.body.from, subject: req.body.subject, text: req.body.text }).then((response) => { console.log(response[0].statusCode) console.log(response[0].headers) }) .catch((error) => { console.error(error) }) } catch (error) { return res.status(error.statusCode || 500).json({ error: error.message }); } return res.status(200).json({ result: response.message }); };
Usage#
Create Sendgrid Account
First, create a Sendgrid account. Then, retrieve your API key.
Add & Verify Domain
If you want emails to come from your email address, you'll need to add a domain. Don't want this right now? Use the sandbox domain.
Add Environment Variables
To securely access the API, we need to include the secret with each request.
Remember: never commit secrets to git. Thus, we should use an environment variable.
