@mailbots/mailbots-sdk

MailBots API JS Client (Beta)

JavaScript client for interacting with the MailBots Email API. Works in the browser and node.js.

Note: MailBots is currently in private beta. Enter your email on the MailBots Home Page to request an invitation

Usage

Quick example:

npm install mailbots-sdk

const var MailBotsClient = require('mailbots-sdk');

// initialize
const mbClient = new MailBotsClient({clientId: 'YOUR_MAILBOT_CLIENT_ID'});
mbClient.setAccessToken('YOUR_OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN');

// create a task
const task = {
        task: {
          reference_email: {
            server_recipient: '[e-mail]',
            to: ['[e-mail]'],
            subject: "Test1",
            html: "Test1",
          }
        }
      }

// create a task with a callback
mbClient.createTask(task, function(err, res) { console.log(err || res)});

// promises work, too.
const res = mbClient.createTask(task)
	.then(function(res) {
		console.log(res);
	})
	.catch(function(err) {
		console.log(err);
	});

// along with async/await of course ✨
const res = await mbClient.createTask(task); //in async function

• YOUR_MAILBOT_CLIENT_ID – Find this in the developer portal.
• YOUR_OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN - Authenticate your bot and copy your bot's access_token from webhook requests (it is sent with every request).

References and Examples

• Reference docs
• See the test directory for usage examples.

Tests

cp .env.example .env npm t

We use nock for mocking network requests. The mocked requests / responses match the values in .env.example.

To run against the live API, you'll need to setup a couple test MailBots, copy their values into .env and run "test:live"

Debugging

Set the env variable DEBUG=mailbots-sdk to log debugging information.
