Send emails using Wget and Mailtrap

To integrate Mailtrap and send emails via Wget, copy the following script into your terminal:

send-email.sh

wget --method POST \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-MAILTRAP-API-KEY-HERE' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --body-data $'{
    "from": {
      "name": "Mailtrap Test",
      "email": "YOUR-EMAIL-HERE"
    },
    "to": [
      {
        "email": "RECIPIENT-EMAIL-HERE"
      }
    ],
    "subject": "Hello World",
    "html": "<strong>it works!</strong>"
  }' \
  'https://send.api.mailtrap.io/api/send'

Once you copy the script, make sure to:

• Insert your Mailtrap API token in the Authorization field as Bearer

• Enter your email address in the from: field

• Enter your recipient's email address in the to: field
