A gem for interfacing with Amazon’s Simple Email Service

Features:

Currently you can:

• Send email with a .erb template (Text or HTML)

Prerequisite

1. First, make sure you validate the email that you are going to use in the “from” section of the email.

How does it work:

1. Build email:

* Raw email without a .erb template:
  You can achieve this by NOT specifying a :template in your options:

  options = {
    :from => 'email@gmail.com', 
    :to => 'email@gmail.com', 
    :subject => 'Testing', 
    :body => 'THis is a test', 
    :aws_access_key => 'your acess key', 
    :aws_secret_key => 'your secret key'
  }

  e = AmazonEmail.new(options) 

* Email that will use a .erb template:
  You can achieve this by specifying the location of you .erb file in the :template option:

  options_2 = {  
    :from => 'from@email.com', 
    :to => 'to@email.com', 
    :subject => 'This is the subject of the email',  
    :aws_access_key => "access_key_id",
    :aws_secret_key => "secret_access_key",
    :template => File.new("sample_email.erb").read
  }

  e = AmazonEmail.new(options_2) 

* Email multiple people
  You can achieve this by sending a Array in the :to field of the options

  options_3 = {
    :from => 'from@email.com', 
    :to => ['to@email.com', 'to_2@email.com', 'to_3@email.com'],
    :subject => 'This is the subject of the email',  
    :aws_access_key => "access_key_id",
    :aws_secret_key => "secret_access_key",
    :template => File.new("sample_email.erb").read
  }
  e = AmazinEmail.new(options_3)

1. Send it

e.send

Install:

* sudo gem install amazon-ses
