'elasticemail' => [ 'className' => 'ElasticEmail.ElasticEmail', 'apiKey' => 'your-api-key' // your api key ] ] ``` If you face an SSL certificate error, please follow below steps: 1. Open 2. Copy the entire page and save it as a "cacert.pem" 3. Open your php.ini file and insert or update the following line: curl.cainfo = "\[pathtofile\]\\cacert.pem" And create new delivery profile in `Email` settings. ``` 'Email' => [ 'default' => [ 'transport' => 'default', 'from' => 'you@localhost', //'charset' => 'utf-8', //'headerCharset' => 'utf-8', ], 'elasticemail' => [ 'transport' => 'elasticemail' ] ] ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) You can now simply use the CakePHP `Email` to send an email via Elastic Email. ``` $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $email->setFrom(['you@yourdomain.com' => 'CakePHP Elastic Email']) ->setSender('someone@example.com', 'Someone') ->setTo('foo@example.com.com') ->addTo('bar@example.com') ->setHeaders(['X-Custom' => 'headervalue']) ->setSubject('Email from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin') ->send('Message from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin'); ``` That is it. Advance Use ----------- [](#advance-use) You can also use few more options to send email via Elastic Email APIs. To do so, get the transport instance and call the appropriate methods before sending the email. ### Transactional Email [](#transactional-email) You can mark the email as `transactional` email. ``` $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $emailInstance = $email->getTransport(); $emailInstance->isTransactional(true); $email->send(); ``` ### Custom Headers [](#custom-headers) You can pass your own headers. It must be prefixed with "X-". Use the default `Email::setHeaders` method like, ``` $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $email->setFrom(['you@yourdomain.com' => 'CakePHP Elastic Email']) ->setSender('someone@example.com', 'Someone') ->setTo('foo@example.com.com') ->addTo('bar@example.com') ->setHeaders([ 'X-Custom' => 'headervalue', 'X-MyHeader' => 'myvalue' ]) ->setSubject('Email from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin') ->send('Message from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin'); ``` > Make sure you have enabled custom header from your Elastic Email settings. ### Attachments [](#attachments) Set your attachments using `Email::setAttachments` method. ``` $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $email->setFrom(['you@yourdomain.com' => 'CakePHP Elastic Email']) ->setSender('someone@example.com', 'Someone') ->setTo('foo@example.com.com') ->addTo('bar@example.com') ->setAttachments([ 'cake_icon1.png' => Configure::read('App.imageBaseUrl') . 'cake.icon.png', 'cake_icon2.png' => ['file' => Configure::read('App.imageBaseUrl') . 'cake.icon.png'], WWW_ROOT . 'favicon.ico' ]) ->setSubject('Email from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin') ->send('Message from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin'); ``` > You need to have some credit in your account to send attachments. Otherwise you will get `Not enough credit for campaign.` error. ### Template [](#template) You can use the template created in Elastic Email backend. Get the template id by either using their API or from the URL. Set the template id using `setTemplate` method. ``` $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $emailInstance = $email->getTransport(); $emailInstance->setTemplte(123); $email->send(); ``` ### Template Variables [](#template-variables) Elastic Email provides a nice way to replace the template content using template variables. You can use variables like {firstname}, {lastname} in your template and pass their replacement value. ``` $mergeVars = [ 'firstname' => 'Foo', 'lastname' => 'Bar', 'title' => 'Good Title' ]; $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $emailInstance = $email->getTransport(); $emailInstance->setMergeVariables($mergeVars); $email->setFrom(['from@example.com' => 'CakePHP Elastic Email']) ->setTo('to@example.com') ->setEmailFormat('both') ->setSubject('{title} - Email from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin') ->send('Hello {firstname} {lastname}, This is an email from CakePHP Elastic Email plugin.'); ``` ### Schedule [](#schedule) You can schedule the email to be sent in future date. You can set upto 1 year in future i.e. 524160 minutes. ``` $email = new Email('elasticemail'); $emailInstance = $email->getTransport(); $emailInstance->setScheduleTime(60); // after 1 hour from sending time $email->send(); ``` Reporting Issues ---------------- [](#reporting-issues) If you have a problem with this plugin or any bug, please open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/sprintcube/cakephp-elastic-email/issues). ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 41% of packages Maintenance10 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
