NOTE: MAILGUN CHANGED THEIR API

Mailgun changed their API and released an official SDK. I'm porting this, and my other mailgun packages to the new SDK.

grunt-mailgun

Send emails though mailgun as part of your build. Created to test our email template builds.

Abstract

We have a build pipeline that compiles jade and sass into inline-styled HTML pages for email msgs.

The final step is to shoot out tests of each template to make sure nothing looks wonky.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mailgun --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mailgun');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade

Usage

src: is one or more files to be used as an email body. A new email will be sent for each file.

mailgun: {
  marketingTemplates: {
    options: {
      key: 'key-yourmailgunapikey',
      domain: 'example.com',
      sender: '[email protected]',
      recipient: '[email protected]',
      subject: 'This is a test email'
    },
    src: ['templates/marketing/*.html']
  }
}

mailgun task

Run this task with the grunt mailgun command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.
