How to send emails from Node.js with SendInBlue
In this article, we will learn how to send emails from Node.js with SendInBlue.
Video Tutorial
What is SendInBlue?
SendInBlue is a mail service that allows you to send emails from your Node.js application.
Get Sendinblue email api key
- Go to SendinBlue and create an account.
- Go to Dashboard and click on the top right-hand side dropdown.
- Click on the SMTP & API tab.
- Click on the
Create new API key
button. - Now we need to store the api key in an environment variable.
Setup
- Install packages:
npm init -ynpm i dotenv sib-api-v3-sdk
- Create a file called
.env
and add the following lines:
API_KEY=<your_api_key>
- Create a file called
index.js
and add the following lines:
const Sib = require('sib-api-v3-sdk')require('dotenv').config()const client = Sib.ApiClient.instanceconst apiKey = client.authentications['api-key']apiKey.apiKey = process.env.API_KEY
Explanation: - require('dotenv').config()
: This is used to load the environment variables from the .env
file. Then we have to add the api key to the Sendinblue client.
const tranEmailApi = new Sib.TransactionalEmailsApi()const sender = { email: '[email protected]', name: 'Anjan',}const receivers = [ { email: '<email address>', },]
Explanation: With tranEmailApi
we can send emails. The sender email has to be the email account that you have used in the SendinBlue account.
tranEmailApi .sendTransacEmail({ sender, to: receivers, subject: 'Subscribe to Cules Coding to become a developer', textContent: ` Cules Coding will teach you how to become {{params.role}} a developer. `, htmlContent: ` <h1>Cules Coding</h1> <a href="https://cules-coding.vercel.app/">Visit</a> `, params: { role: 'Frontend', }, }) .then(console.log) .catch(console.log)
Explanation:
- You can send emails using the
sendTransacEmail
method. - Subject is required.
- You have to pass either
textContent
orhtmlContent
to the method.htmlContent
will overridetextContent
. You can pass parameters to the email content using the
params
object.Run the file and you will see the email was sent.
