Ruby

We are going to use the Mail gem:

Require it at the beginning of your send_email.rb:

require 'mail'

Declare Gmail account info:

# Gmail account infooptions = {  address: 'smtp.gmail.com',  port: 587, # gmail smtp port number  domain: 'gmail.com',  user_name: '[email protected]',  password: 'yourpassword',  authentication: 'plain'}

Initialize Mail delivery_method info:

Mail.defaults do  delivery_method :smtp, optionsend

Send email :

Mail.deliver do  to '[email protected]'  from '[email protected]'  subject 'Sending email using Ruby'  body 'Easy peasy lemon squeezy'end

Here the final code:

require 'mail'# Gmail account infooptions = {  address: 'smtp.gmail.com',  port: 587,  domain: 'gmail.com',  user_name: '[email protected]',  password: 'yourpassword',  authentication: 'plain'}Mail.defaults do  delivery_method :smtp, optionsendMail.deliver do  to '[email protected]'  from '[email protected]'  subject 'Sending email using Ruby'  body 'Easy peasy lemon squeezy'endputs 'Email sent'
