How to send E-mail Templates through Mailgun? - php

Question

I am using Mailgun as my e-mail Service provider for sending E-mail to my Colleagues. I have created some attractive E-mail Templates. But, I don't know how to send it through Mailgun. Kindly guide me...

Answer 1

this is simple to do if you're using the PHP library from mailgun, available here: https://github.com/mailgun/mailgun-php
The below code will send an email to a colleague of yours, you can add as many to fields as you need!
Then simply edit the array 'html' :) and execute the script!
# Include the Autoloader (see "Libraries" for install instructions)
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Mailgun\Mailgun;
# Instantiate the client.
$mgClient = new Mailgun('key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0l');
$domain = "YOURDomain.mailgun.org";
# Make the call to the client.
$result = $mgClient->sendMessage($domain, array(
'from' => 'You#yourdomain.com',
'to' => 'your_colleague#someone.com',
'subject' => 'Hello',
'html' => 'some html code <b> goes here </b> and works <span style=\"color:red\">fine</span>'
));

Answer 2

Or you can do a file read of the template and store it temporarily:
$fileloc = fopen("/path/to/email_template.php", 'r');
$fileread = fread($fileloc, filesize("/path/to/email_template.php"));
# Instantiate the client.
$mg = new Mailgun('<your_api_key>');
$domain = "domain.com";
# Make the call to the client.
$mg->sendMessage($domain, array('from' => 'noreply#domain.com',
'to' => 'recipient#domain.com',
'subject' => 'Subject',
'html' => $fileread));

Try this
$content = view('email.info-request',
['sender_name' => Input::get('sender_name'),
'sender_email' => Input::get('senderr_email'),
'sender_subject' => Input::get('sender_subject'),
'sender_message' => Input::get('sender_message')])->render();
$mg->messages()->send('mydomain.com', [
'from' => Input::get('sender_email'),
'to' => 'admin#mydomain.com',
'subject' => 'Information Request',
'html' => $content]);
