Sending emails

This section covers configuring Hasura notify microservice to send emails. Notify currently supports sending emails via SparkPost and Mandrill.

Sending an email

Before sending emails, you must have configured one of the providers for sending Emails.

Note

Notify is an admin-only microservice. Hence, only users with admin role will be able to access these APIs

Send an email as per the options given is request body.

POST https://notify.<cluster-name>.hasura-app.io/v1/send/email HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <auth-token> # optional if cookie is set
X-Hasura-Role: <role>  # optional. Pass if only specific user role has access

{
  "to": "Example User <user@example.com>",
  "from": "admin@project.com",
  "fromName": "Project Admin",
  "sub": "This is the email subject line",
  "text": "This is the email content in plain text",
  "html": "<p>This is the <b>email content</b> in html format</p>"
}

Example response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "id": "<provider-reference-id>",
  "detail": "<details>"
}

Authorization header is not required if the request is being made from a browser, since Cookie will be set.

Note

If you are writing backed code and want to send email from that code, you can directly contact the Notify microservice using the URL http://notify.hasura/v1/send/email. You will also need to set headers X-Hasura-User-Id: 1 and X-Hasura-User-Role: admin to make the request as admin.
