@sinch/node-red-mailgun
Advanced tools
A package of nodes for Node-RED which allows you to connect, send and receive emails through the Mailgun API. For more information about the Mailgun API and how to get started, see the documentation.
The first step is to install Node-RED.
$ sudo npm install -g node-red
Compatible with Node-Red version 3.x.x and later
The second step is to install the package. You can either install it directly using the Palette Manager. Instructions can be found here: Node-RED.
Or install manually using npm:
Navigate to the Node-RED installation and install the package:
$ cd ~/.node-red
$ npm install @sinch/node-red-mailgun
Run Node-RED locally:
$ node-red
This will start a server for Node-RED on http://127.0.0.1:1880/.
If the installation of the node package was successful, the Mailgun nodes should be available in the node palette to the left, under the category "Mailgun".
After you've installed Node-RED and the @sinch/node-red-mailgun package you can start building your flow. To get you started we provide an example flows.json containing the essentials for sending and receiving emails. To import the flows.json file, open Node-RED in the brower and select the hamburger menu in the top right corner. Choose "Import" and press "select a file to import". The flow file will then be imported on a tab called "Example flow".
The flow.json contains two separate flow examples. For each of the flows there exists a comment node containing additional information about the configuration required to test it out.
If you're running Node-RED locally on localhost and want to test receiving emails and events, we recommend using a tool like Ngrok. This tool allow you to expose your localhost to the internet and makes it possible to route callback events to Node-RED. This is also a useful for testing the native Http-in node provided by Node-RED.
This package contains the following two nodes:
Handles and routes incoming emails where the target email address field matches the configiured Match sender field. Possible match creteria for the match sender field:
In order to receive messages from Mailgun, you need to configure a route on the Mailgun dashboard. The path should be: <node-red-path>/mailgun/events-email.
Sends emails through the Mailgun API. Can be configured to either send a plain text message or a template configured in the Mailgun dashboard. Sending -> Templates.
In order to receive events such as Delivered or Unsubscribed you need to configure a webhook for each event. This is also done in the Mailgun dashboard. Sending -> Webhooks. The path should be: <node-red-path>/mailgun/events-email.
