grunt-mailgun

Send emails though mailgun as part of your build. Created to test our email template builds.

Abstract

We have a build pipeline that compiles jade and sass into inline-styled HTML pages for email msgs.

The final step is to shoot out tests of each template to make sure nothing looks wonky.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mailgun --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mailgun');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade
