const { Layang } = require('@mailtarget/nodejs-sdk');
const sender = { email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe' };
const subject = 'mailtarget Email Test';
const bodyHtml = `

const to = [
{ email: '[email protected]', name: 'Jane Doe' },
];
const sendMail = async () => {
const mailtarget = new Layang('mailtarget-api-key', sender);
const transmissionId = await mailtarget.sendMessage(subject, to, bodyHtml);
if (transmissionId) {
console.log('Email sent, ID = ', transmissionId);
} else {
console.error(mailtarget.getErrorMessage());
}
};
sendMail();If you already using mailtarget Template Creator,
you could use that template to send an email by invoking sendMessageTempalate function and pass the templateId as a parameter.
Here is an example :
const { Layang } = require('@mailtarget/nodejs-sdk');
const sender = { email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe' };
const subject = 'mailtarget Email Test';
const templateId = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx';
const to = [
{ email: '[email protected]', name: 'Jane Doe' },
];
const sendMail = async () => {
const mailtarget = new Layang('mailtarget-api-key', sender);
const transmissionId = await mailtarget.sendMessageTemplate(subject, to, templateId);
if (transmissionId) {
console.log('Email sent, ID = ', transmissionId);
} else {
console.error(mailtarget.getErrorMessage());
}
};
sendMail();If you are need to substitute a text using a data you provided
(of course you need to set the template accordingly in mailtarget),
you could declare it as the fourth parameter of sendMessageTemplate :
...
const substituteData = { lastname: 'Doe', birthdat: '1 January 1975' };
await mailtarget.sendMessageTemplate(subject, to, templateId, substituteData);
...Here is a list of configuration you could make on your email
(just make sure you declare it before sendMessag or sendMessageTemplate invocation) :
const cc = [
{ email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe' }
];
mailtarget.cc = cc;const bcc = [
{ email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe' }
];
mailtarget.bcc = bcc;mailtarget.bodyText = 'Your text went here';const headers = [
{ name: 'x-header', value: 'your header value' }
];
mailtarget.headers = headers;const attachment = [
{ mimeType: 'application/octet-stream', filename: 'your_file.pdf', value: 'some-value' }
];
mailtarget.attachment = attachment;const metadata = [
{ metaKey: 'meta-value' }
];
mailtarget.metadata = metadata;Track a click activity of an email you sent, default set to active. If you prefer it to be disabled, use following line :
mailtarget.setClickTracking(false);Track an open activity of an email you sent, default set to active. If you prefer it to be disabled, use following line :
mailtarget.setOpenTracking(false);Treat the email as transactional, default set to active. If you prefer it to be disabled (i.e you want to send a newsletter which has unsubscribe link on it), use following line :
mailtarget.setTransactional(false);
