Intro

EmailJS helps you send emails directly from code with one command. No large knowledge is required – just connect EmailJS to one of the supported email services, create an email template, and use our SDK to trigger an email.

Usage

Install EmailJS SDK using npm:

$ npm install @emailjs/nodejs

Note: By default, API requests are disabled for non-browser applications. You need to activate them through Account:Security.

Examples

ECMAScript modules

Send the email using the customized send method

import emailjs from '@emailjs/nodejs';

const templateParams = {
  name: 'James',
  notes: 'Check this out!',
};

emailjs
  .send('YOUR_SERVICE_ID', 'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID', templateParams, {
    publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
    privateKey: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY', // optional, highly recommended for security reasons
  })
  .then(
    (response) => {
      console.log('SUCCESS!', response.status, response.text);
    },
    (err) => {
      console.log('FAILED...', err);
    },
  );

init (optional)

import emailjs from '@emailjs/nodejs';

// set Public Key as global settings
emailjs.init({
  publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
  privateKey: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY', // optional, highly recommended for security reasons
});

emailjs.send('YOUR_SERVICE_ID', 'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID').then(
  (response) => {
    console.log('SUCCESS!', response.status, response.text);
  },
  (err) => {
    console.log('FAILED...', err);
  },
);

await/async with EmailJS error handler

import emailjs, { EmailJSResponseStatus } from '@emailjs/nodejs';

try {
  await emailjs.send(
    'YOUR_SERVICE_ID',
    'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID',
    {},
    {
      publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
      privateKey: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY', // optional, highly recommended for security reasons
    },
  );
  console.log('SUCCESS!');
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof EmailJSResponseStatus) {
    console.log('EMAILJS FAILED...', err);
    return;
  }

  console.log('ERROR', err);
}

Configuration

Options

Options can be declared globally using the init method or locally as the fourth parameter of a function.
The local parameter will have higher priority than the global one.

Name	Type	Default	Description
publicKey	String		The public key is required to invoke the method.
blockList	BlockList		Block list settings.
limitRate	LimitRate		Limit rate configuration.
storageProvider	StorageProvider		Provider for a custom key-value storage.

BlockList

Allows to ignore a method call if the watched variable contains a value from the block list.
The method will return the error 403 if the request is blocked.

Name	Type	Description
list	String[]	The array of strings contains values for blocking.
watchVariable	String	A name of the variable to be watched.

LimitRate

Allows to set the limit rate for calling a method.
If the request hits the limit rate, the method will return the error 429.

Name	Type	Default	Description
id	String	page path	The limit rate is per page by default. To override the behavior, set the ID. It can be a custom ID for each page, group, or application.
throttle	Number		(ms) After how many milliseconds a next request is allowed.

StorageProvider

Allows to provide a custom key value storage. By default, localStorage is used if available.
The custom provider must match the interface.

interface StorageProvider {
  get: (key: string) => Promise<string | null | undefined>;
  set: (key: string, value: string) => Promise<void>;
  remove: (key: string) => Promise<void>;
}

Declare global settings

import emailjs from '@emailjs/nodejs';

emailjs.init({
  publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
  privateKey: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY', // optional, highly recommended for security reasons
  blockList: {
    list: ['[e-mail]', '[e-mail]'],
  },
  limitRate: {
    throttle: 10000, // 10s
  },
});

Overwrite settings locally

import emailjs from '@emailjs/nodejs';

const templateParams = {
  name: 'James',
  notes: 'Check this out!',
};

emailjs
  .send('YOUR_SERVICE_ID', 'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID', templateParams, {
    publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
    privateKey: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY', // optional, highly recommended for security reasons
    blockList: {
      watchVariable: 'userEmail',
    },
    limitRate: {
      throttle: 0, // turn off the limit rate for these requests
    },
  })
  .then(
    (response) => {
      console.log('SUCCESS!', response.status, response.text);
    },
    (err) => {
      console.log('FAILED...', err);
    },
  );
