Sending Mail

How to send emails with actionmailer

1) Merge mailer


merge_mailer 'mailer_file' #if your mailer's templates are placed in default path (rails default path)

merge_mailer 'mailer_file', {:path_to_templates=>"templates_path"}#if you're using mailer outside of rails with custom templates path

if you already set auto_merge=true all your mailers already merged.

2) Configure mailer connection

If you are using Rails 3,your action_mailer connection would be configured automatically from your config
For non Rails 3 or if you want to use different mailer configs, you should add the following to your SimpleWorker config:

config.mailer = {
    :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
    :port => 587,
    :domain => 'gmail.com',
    :user_name => GMAIL_USERNAME
    :password => GMAIL_PASSWORD
    :authentication => 'plain',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true}

also you could set ActionMailer connection directly in your worker (in run method)

example:

class MailerWorker < SimpleWorker::Base
  attr_accessor :gmail_user_name,:gmail_password,:send_to
  merge_gem 'actionmailer',:require=>'action_mailer'
  merge_mailer 'mailer', {:path_to_templates=>"mailer"}
  def run
    ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings={
        :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
        :port => 587,
        :domain => 'gmail.com',
        :user_name => gmail_user_name,
        :password => gmail_password,
        :authentication => 'plain',
        :enable_starttls_auto => true}
    Mailer.test_email(send_to).deliver!
  end
end
