email_worker's Introduction

email_worker

Sends an email via your favorite email/smtp service, ie: Sengrid.

Quick Start

First off, you need an Iron.io account, if you don't have one go sign up for a free account.

Second, you need to have your iron.json file setup.

Now you can get cracking!

1. Add this worker to your account

First install the iron_worker_ng gem:

$ gem install iron_worker_ng

From the command line:

$ iron_worker upload https://github.com/treeder/email_worker/blob/master/email.worker

2. Start using it!

You can queue up tasks for it in any language. Check out our Client Libraries in the language of your choice to make it easy, but here's an example using curl:

$ curl -d '{"tasks": [{"code_name": "email", "payload": "{ \"host\": \"smtp.sendgrid.net\", \"domain\": \"MY DOMAIN eg: yahoo.com\", \"port\": 587, \"username\": \"MY USERNAME\", \"password\": \"MY PASSWORD\", \"from\": \"MY EMAIL\", \"to\": \"MY EMAIL\", \"subject\": \"SUBJECT\", \"body\": \"BODY\" }"}]}' --header "Authorization: OAuth YOUR_TOKEN" --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://worker-aws-us-east-1.iron.io/2/projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/tasks

Now go look at HUD to see the task and the log.

And here's how to queue up tasks using Ruby (from enqueue.rb):

require 'iron_worker_ng'
client = IronWorkerNG::Client.new()
client.tasks.create(
    'email', {
        host: "smtp.sendgrid.net",
        domain: "MY DOMAIN eg: iron.io",
        port: 587,
        username: "MY USERNAME",
        password: "MY PASSWORD",
        from: "MY EMAIL",
        to: "EMAIL TO SEND TO",
        subject: "SUBJECT",
        body: "BODY"
    }
)
