Can i schedule email sending with nylas mail
Yes, Nylas Mail allows you to schedule email sending using their API. Here's an overview of how you can do it:
Using the Nylas Mail API
To schedule an email sending using the Nylas Mail API, you'll need to make a POST
request to the /emails
endpoint with the send_at
parameter set to the desired timestamp.
Here's an example of how you can do it using the Nylas Mail API:
POST /emails
{
"from": {
"email": "[email protected]",
"name": "From Name"
},
"to": [
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"name": "To Name"
}
],
"subject": "Scheduled Email",
"text": "This is a scheduled email",
"send_at": 1643723400 // Unix timestamp (e.g., 2022-02-01 14:30:00 UTC)
}
In this example, the send_at
parameter is set to a Unix timestamp representing the desired sending time. The email will be sent at the specified time.
Using a Nylas Mail Client Library
If you're using a Nylas Mail client library (e.g., Nylas Mail for Node.js), you can use the scheduleEmail
method to schedule an email sending.
For example, using the Nylas Mail for Node.js library:
const nylas = require('nylas');
const nylasClient = new nylas.Client({
// Your Nylas Mail API credentials
});
const email = {
from: {
email: '[email protected]',
name: 'From Name'
},
to: [
{
email: '[email protected]',
name: 'To Name'
}
],
subject: 'Scheduled Email',
text: 'This is a scheduled email'
};
const sendAt = new Date('2022-02-01 14:30:00 UTC').getTime() / 1000; // Unix timestamp
nylasClient.scheduleEmail(email, sendAt)
.then(() => console.log('Email scheduled for sending'))
.catch((error) => console.error('Error scheduling email:', error));
In this example, the scheduleEmail
method is used to schedule the email sending at the specified time.
Note: Make sure to check the Nylas Mail API documentation and the client library documentation for any specific requirements or limitations on scheduling email sending.
