mailgun.js
Advanced tools
A javascript sdk for Mailgun built with webpack, babel & es6. This can be used in node or in the browser*.
The mailgun.js npm package is a client library for interacting with the Mailgun API, which is a service for sending, receiving, and tracking emails. This package allows developers to easily integrate Mailgun's email functionalities into their Node.js applications.
Send Email
This feature allows you to send an email using the Mailgun API. You need to provide the sender's email, recipient's email, subject, and body of the email.
const mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const formData = require('form-data');
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://api.mailgun.net'});
const data = {
from: 'Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>',
to: 'bar@example.com, YOU@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME',
subject: 'Hello',
text: 'Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!'
};
mg.messages.create('YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME', data)
.then(msg => console.log(msg))
.catch(err => console.error(err));Validate Email Address
This feature allows you to validate an email address to check if it is in the correct format and exists.
const mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://api.mailgun.net'});
mg.validate.get('test@example.com')
.then(validation => console.log(validation))
.catch(err => console.error(err));List Management
This feature allows you to create and manage mailing lists. You can create a new list by providing the list address and name.
const mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://api.mailgun.net'});
mg.lists.create('list@sandbox-123.mailgun.org', {name: 'My List'})
.then(list => console.log(list))
.catch(err => console.error(err));Nodemailer is a module for Node.js applications to allow easy email sending. It is a popular choice for sending emails from Node.js applications and supports various transport methods, including SMTP, AWS SES, and more. Unlike mailgun.js, which is specifically for Mailgun's API, Nodemailer is more general-purpose and can be used with different email services.
SendGrid is a cloud-based service that provides email delivery and marketing campaigns. The @sendgrid/mail npm package is the official library for sending emails through SendGrid's API. It offers similar functionalities to mailgun.js, such as sending emails, managing lists, and tracking email events. However, it is specific to the SendGrid service.
Postmark is an email service for transactional email delivery. The postmark npm package allows you to send emails, manage templates, and track email events using the Postmark API. It is similar to mailgun.js in terms of functionality but is tailored for the Postmark service.
A javascript sdk for Mailgun built with webpack, babel & es6. This can be used in node or in the browser*.
NOTE: If used in the browser, a proxy is required to communicate with the Mailgun api due to cors limitations. Also, do not publish your private api key in frontend code.
Table of Contents
Install mailgun.js with:
npm install mailgun.js
Next, require the module and instantiate a mailgun client by calling new Mailgun(formData) and then using mailgun.client setup the client with basic auth credentials (username: 'api', key: 'key-yourkeyhere').
NOTE: starting from version 3.0 you need to pass FormData (we need this to keep library universal). For node.js you can use form-data library.
const formData = require('form-data');
const Mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mailgun = new Mailgun(formData);
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY || 'key-yourkeyhere'});
In the case your mailgun account is eu hosted you would need to define eu's subdomain as url in mailgun's Client constructor:
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY || 'key-yourkeyhere', url: 'https://api.eu.mailgun.net'});
The following service methods are available to instantiated clients. The examples assume you have already created a mailgun client as mg with valid credentials.
Method naming conventions:
get or get{{Item}} - expected response for client is a single objectlist or list{{Items}} - expected response for client is a list of objectscreate or create{{Item}} - expected response for client is a single objectupdate or update{{Item}} - expected response is an object with a status messagedestroy or destroy{{Item}} - expected response is an object with a status messagemg.messages.create(domain, data) - api docs

data
}

return mg.messages.create('sandbox-123.mailgun.org', messageParams);
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
})
Node.js example of send multiple files as an attachment
const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
const path = require('path');
const filepath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.pdf');
const filepath1 = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.jpg');
let messageParams = {
from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
to: ["test@example.com"],
subject: "Test subject",
text: "Test message"
}
(async () =>{
try {
const firstFile = {
filename: 'test.pdf',
data: await fsPromises.readFile(filepath)
}
const secondFile = {
filename: 'test.jpg',
data: await fsPromises.readFile(filepath1)
}
messageParams.attachment = [firstFile, secondFile];

console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
})()
Node.js example of send file as inline image
const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
const path = require('path');
const filepath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.jpg');
let messageParams = {
from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
to: ["test@example.com"],
subject: "Test subject",
html: '<div><img alt="image" id="1" src="cid:test.jpg"/></div> Some extra text'
}
fsPromises.readFile(filepath)
.then(data => {
const file = {
filename: 'test.jpg',
data
}
messageParams.inline = file;
return mg.messages.create('sandbox-123.mailgun.org', messageParams);
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
})
Browser example of send file
Before sending the file you need to somehow get the Blob of the file. Usually can get it from the onChange event of input tag with type file.
const handleFileSelected = async (event) => {
const files = Array.from(event.target.files)
const fileBuffer = await files[0];
}
<input type="file" onChange={handleFileSelected} name="file-uploader"/>
Then you can use the same approach as shown above for node.js apps.
const file = {
filename: 'test.pdf',
data: fileBuffer
};
let messageParams = {
from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
to: ["test@example.com"],
subject: "Test subject",
text: "Hello here is a file in the attachment",
attachment: file
};
const res = await mg.messages.create(DOMAIN, messageParams);
Promise returns:
{
id: '<20151025002517.117282.79817@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>',
message: 'Queued. Thank you.'
}
Mailgun’s templates uses a fork of the very popular template engine handlebars.
To provide values for a substitution you need to use 'h:X-Mailgun-Variables' property in the message description.
Make sure that this property is a JSON string like {"title":"A title", "body":"The body"}.
You can find few examples of how to use templates below.
Providing values for title and slug variables to render in template
...
const {
title,
slug,
} = someDataSource;
const mailgunData = {
from: 'mailer@example.com>',
to: 'recipient@example.com',
subject: `Email ${title}`,
template: 'name-of-the-template-you-made-in-mailgun-web-portal',
'h:X-Mailgun-Variables': JSON.stringify({ // be sure to stringify your payload
title,
slug,
}),
'h:Reply-To': 'reply-to@example.com',
};
try {
const response = await mailgun.messages.create(DOMAIN_NAME, mailgunData);
...
Providing an array of objects to render them in the template
...
const mailgunData = {
from: 'mailer@example.com>',
to: 'recipient@example.com',
subject: `Email ${title}`,
template: 'name-of-the-another-template-you-made-in-mailgun-web-portal',
'h:X-Mailgun-Variables': JSON.stringify({
"arrayItems": [
{
"question": "test_question",
"answer": "test_answer"
},
{
"question": "test_question",
"answer": "test_answer"
}
]})
};
try {
const response = await mailgun.messages.create(DOMAIN_NAME, mailgunData);
...
Recipient Variables are custom variables that you define, which you can then reference in the message body. They give you the ability to send a custom message to each recipient while still using a single API Call.
...
const mailgunData = {
from: 'Example.com Mailer <mailer@mailer.example.com>',
to: ['me@example.com', 'you@example.com'],
subject: 'Recipient - %recipient.title%',
html: 'Here\'s %recipient.title% and <a href="%recipient.link%">link</a>',
'recipient-variables': JSON.stringify({
'me@example.com': {
title: 'Me',
link: 'href-var',
},
'you@example.com': {
title: 'You',
link: 'slug-recipient-var-c',
},
}),
};
try {
const response = await mailgun.messages.create(DOMAIN_NAME, mailgunData);
...

Most of the methods that return items in a list support pagination. There are two ways to receive part of the list:
mg.domains.domainTags.list()
mg.domains.domainTemplates.list()
mg.domains.domainTemplates.listVersions()
mg.events.get()
mg.lists.list()
mg.lists.members.listMembers()
mg.validate.list()
mg.suppressions.list()
The general idea is that after you made the first call with a limit property in the query you will receive a response with a property called pages in it. This property implements the next interface:
{
previous: {
id: string;
page: string;
iteratorPosition: string | undefined;
url: string
};
first: {
id: string;
page: string;
iteratorPosition: string | undefined;
url: string
};
last: {
id: string;
page: string;
iteratorPosition: string | undefined;
url: string
};
next: {
id: string;
page: string;
iteratorPosition: string | undefined;
url: string
};
}
To receive the next page you need to add the page property to the query argument. This property should contain a string value from 'page' property in response.pages.(previous/first/last/next).
Example:
// first call
const listMembers = await mg.lists.members.listMembers('your_mailing_list', { limit: 2 });
/* response
{
