Why

For some reason, we need to use SendGrid V3 in SailJS < 1.0.x

nodemailer-sendgrid-transport

This module is a transport plugin for Nodemailer that makes it possible to send through SendGrid's V3 Web API!

Usage

Install via npm.

npm install -S -E @danfebooks/nodemailer-sendgrid-transport

Require the module and initialize it with your SendGrid credentials.

Recommended to use with @danfebooks/sails-service-mailer

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var sgTransport = require('@danfebooks/nodemailer-sendgrid-transport');

// api key https://sendgrid.com/docs/Classroom/Send/api_keys.html
var options = {
	auth: {
		api_key: 'SENDGRID_APIKEY'
	}
}
	
var mailer = nodemailer.createTransport(sgTransport(options));

Note: serve the API KEY using environment variables.

Create an email and send it off!

var email = {
	to: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
	from: '[email protected]',
	subject: 'Hi there',
	text: 'Awesome sauce',
	html: '<b>Awesome sauce</b>',
	categories: ['Welcome Email', 'Receipt Email']
};

mailer.sendMail(email, function(err, res) {
	if (err) { 
		console.log(err) 
	}
	console.log(res);
});
