NotifyCX Email Client

A lightweight TypeScript client for sending transactional emails through the NotifyCX Email API.

Installation

npm install notifycx

Usage

Initialize the Client

import Notify from "notifycx";

const notify = new Notify("your-api-key");

You can optionally specify a custom API URL during initialization:

const notify = new Notify("your-api-key", "https://api.notify.cx/v1");

Getting Your API Key

Before using the client, you'll need an API key:

• Create an account on NotifyCX.
• Navigate to your credentials page
• Find your API key in a secure, masked input field
• Click the field to copy your API key to clipboard

Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

Sending Basic Emails

To send a basic email without a template:

notify.sendEmail({
  to: "[e-mail]",
  subject: "Hello",
  name: "John Doe",
  message: "Your email content here",
});

Sending Template-Based Emails

To send an email using a pre-defined template:

notify.sendEmailFromTemplate({
  to: "[e-mail]",
  from: "[e-mail]",
  templateId: "<your_template_id>",
  variables: {
    name: "John Doe",
    company: "Example Inc.",
  },
});

Method Chaining

You can also use method chaining if preferred:

Sending a basic email:

new Notify("<your_api_key>").sendEmail({
  to: "[e-mail]",
  subject: "Hello",
  name: "John Doe",
  message: "Your email content here",
});

Sending a template-based email:

new Notify("<your_api_key>").sendEmailFromTemplate({
  to: "[e-mail]",
  from: "[e-mail]",
  templateId: "<your_template_id>",
  variables: {
    name: "John Doe",
    company: "Example Inc.",
  },
});
