Email

Send email from you Ask app

Ask has a built in tool for sending email messages. You just have to configure it to use an SMTP server (e.g. Gmail) and you're good to go.

Setup/Configuration

You configure the mail tool from your projects Askfile. In this example we're connecting to gmail.

[mail]
debug=true
server='smtp.gmail.com'
port=465
use_tls=false
use_ssl=true
username=''
password=''

When using Gmail, make sure to either use App specific passwords, or enable less secure apps.

You also have to enable IMAP, and sometimes complete the steps here: https://accounts.google.com/b/2/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

All functions and events related to emails are available under built-in the mail class.

@get('/email'):
	msg = mail.msg('Subject line', ['recipient@gmail.com'], 'Message body.')
	mail.send(msg)
