Use Mad Mimi to send beautiful HTML emails using the ActionMailer API

Primary LanguageRuby

Mad Mimi Mailer

DESCRIPTION:

Let Mad Mimi handle your HTML emails. This is a drop-in replacement for ActionMailer. MadMimiMailer extends ActionMailer::Base, so you can intermingle normal ActionMailer emails with emails sent via Mad Mimi. Just start your Mad Mimi-specific emails with deliver_mimi_foo and it will send your Mad Mimi promotion named “foo”. Oh, and it will also automatically import the recipient into your Mad Mimi account.

TODO:

  • If something goes wrong with the call to Mad Mimi, fallback and use plain old local Rails templates.

  • Document how body data can be used in Mad Mimi templates

  • Document promotion, hidden, and use_erb options

SYNOPSIS:

class UserNotifier < MadMimiMailer
  def mimi_welcome(user)
    subject "Welcome to WidgetHub"
