email2postwp
This is a simple module that retrieves new emails from an IMAP server and creates posts in a WordPress site.
Prerequisite
A working IMAP email address and a WordPress with WP Rest API enabled with basic authentication.
Installation
As simple as installing any other global node package. Be sure to have npm and node installed and launch:
$ npm install -g email2postwp
Configuration
The email2postwp is configurable through environment variables. There are several variables available:
| Environment variable | Description | |----------------------|-------------| | EMAIL2POSTWP_HOST|imap mail host. | EMAIL2POSTWP_USERNAME|imap username. | EMAIL2POSTWP_PASSWORD|imap password. | EMAIL2POSTWP_WPENDPOINT|wordpress rest api endpoint. | EMAIL2POSTWP_WPUSERNAME|wordpress basic auth username. | EMAIL2POSTWP_WPPASSWORD|wordpress basic auth password. | EMAIL2POSTWP_WPPOST_STATUS|new post status (default is draft). | EMAIL2POSTWP_WPPOST_CATEGORY_IDS|new post category ids (default is none). | EMAIL2POSTWP_WPALLOWED_EMAILS|the list of sender emails that post will be created (default is all).
Launching from source
If you downloaded the source code of the bot you can run it using NPM with:
$ npm start
Don't forget to configure the environment variables before doing so. Alternatively you can also create a file called imapsettings.js
in the root folder and put your token there (you can use the imappsettings.js.example
file as a reference) and a file called wpsettings.js
in the root folder and put your token there (you can use the wpsettings.js.example
file as a reference).
