Usage

Following is an example using SendGrid. You can get your free account here.

First, update your environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY.

You can copy the .env_example file located in the "examples" folder to .env in your project's root.

cp examples/.env_sample .env

Once you have edited the file and added your API Key, you can add the variable to your environment: source .env

Here is the full working code.
