bvpb/mailbucket

Simple Sinatra-Heroku app for handling a form post and sending email

Use Case

I had a Jekyll site (static, on GH pages) which needed to post a form and have an email be sent. Just a simple contact form. This app can be deployed and used as a service to receive the form post and send the email. It is made to work with Heroku out of the box.

Usage

Post a form to the root path of your mailbucket app. You can include the following parameters (all are optional):

• subject - The subject of the email. Will be blank if not provided.
• name - The name of the sender.
• email - The email address of the sender.
• redirect - The URL to redirect to after sending the email. Redirects to the referrer if not provided.

All remaining parameters will be formatted and used as the body of the email.
