Elixir

Learn how to integrate Mailtrap with your Elixir applications using SDK, SMTP, or RESTful API for email sending

Mailtrap Elixir SDK on GitHub

Overview

Mailtrap can be integrated with Elixir apps and projects for email sending.

Email API/SMTP for Elixir

SDK integration

The Mailtrap Elixir SDK brings functional programming elegance to email sending with full support for Elixir's concurrent and fault-tolerant features. The SDK supports:

• Transactional email sending

• Sandbox testing

• Account management

• OTP-compliant design

• Pattern matching for responses

• Pipe-friendly API

Check the repo for Bamboo adaptor examples.

Installation

Add the SDK to your mix.exs dependencies:

mix.exs

def deps do
  [
    {:mailtrap, "~> 0.2.0"}
  ]
end

Then run:

Terminal

mix deps.get

Minimal Example

Here's a minimal example to send your first email:

send_email.exs

client = Mailtrap.Sending.client("PASTE TOKEN HERE")
email = (%Mailtrap.Email{}
  |> Mailtrap.Email.put_from({"From name", "[email protected]"})
  |> Mailtrap.Email.put_to({"Recepient", "[email protected]"})
  |> Mailtrap.Email.put_subject("Hi there")
  |> Mailtrap.Email.put_text("General Kenobi"))
Mailtrap.Sending.send(client, email)

Get your API token from your Mailtrap account under Settings → API Tokens.

SMTP integration

To integrate SMTP with your Elixir app, navigate to the Integrations tab and copy-paste the credentials.

SMTP integration is compatible with any Elixir framework or library that sends emails via SMTP.

RESTful API integration

To integrate Mailtrap using RESTful API, simply copy/paste the API endpoint and API Token into the configuration file of the Elixir framework or library that supports HTTP requests. For more details, refer to the API documentation.
