This service is a frontend to Amazon's managed SES email offering.
There are only two endpoints, / and /health. The health endpoint is used by the cluster's readiness and liveness probes.
To send an email, you send a POST request with a simple JSON payload structured as follows:
{
"recipients": [ "firstname.lastname@acme.com", "anothername.lastname@acme.com" ],
"subject": "Some subject that suits an automated message",
"markdownBody": "Some *text* with basic **formatting**"
}HTML-capable email clients will display HTML text based on the Markdown source; text-only clients display the Markdown source itself.
The sender is always as configured in the Helm Values file, chart/values.yaml. By default, it is noreply@acme.com.
Please note that recipients need to accept an invitation to take part before they can receive messages.
Any system that can send POST requests will do, but if you happen to use curl, you might enter:
curl -XPOST http://email-service.default.svc.cluster.local:8080/ \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "subject": "The Red Wheelbarrow", "recipients": ["gerald.schmidt@acme.com"], "markdownBody": "So much depends upon a **red** ~~tractor~~wheelbarrow."}'
