Mailgun

This transport layer forms the coupling between Laminas\Mail and the Email Service Provider Mailgun. The transport is a drop-in component and can be used to send email messages with Cc & Bcc addresses and attachments.

Installation

It is assumed this module is already installed and enabled in your Zend Framework 2 project. If not, please read first the installation instructions to do so.

Copy the ./vendor/slm/mail/config/slm_mail.mailgun.local.php.dist to your ./config/autoload folder (don't forget to remove the .dist extension!) and update your API key.

Usage

Supported functionalities

SlmMail defines a new Message class, SlmMail\Mail\Message\Mailgun, that you can use to take advantage of specific Mailgun features. The Mailgun transport from SlmMail can work with the standard Laminas\Mail\Message objects, but if you want to use channels or templates, you must use the Mailgun message class. Here are a list of supported features.

Attachments

You can add any attachment to a Mailgun message. Attachments are handled just like you normally send emails with attachments. See the Zend Framework 2 manual for an extensive explanation of the Message class.

$text = new \Laminas\Mime\Part($textContent);
$text->type = "text/plain";

$html = new \Laminas\Mime\Part($htmlMarkup);
$html->type = "text/html";

$pdf = new \Laminas\Mime\Part(fopen($pathToPdf, 'r'));
$pdf->type     = "application/pdf";
$pdf->filename = "my-attachment.pdf";

$body = new \Laminas\Mime\Message;
$body->setParts(array($text, $html, $pdf));

// You can use the \SlmMail\Mail\Message\Mailgun class
// But attachments work with Laminas\Mail\Message too
$message = new \Laminas\Mail\Message;
$message->setBody($body);

Options

Mailgun API allows you to add several options to your mail. Possible options are the tracking of mails and further delivery options. To add an option, use the setOption() method:

$message = new \SlmMail\Mail\Message\Mailgun();
$message->setOption('tracking_clicks', true);

// Or multiple:
$message->setOptions(array('tracking_clicks' => true, 'tracking_opens' => true));

Mailgun service will filter unknown options. Unsupported options with throw an exception SlmMail\Mail\Message\Exception\InvalidArgumentException. Here are the currently supported options:

  • dkim: (string) enables/disables DKIM signatures on per-message basis. Pass yes or no.
  • delivery_time: (string) desired time of delivery. The date format must be encoded according to RFC 2822.
  • test_mode: (string) enables sending in test mode. Pass yes if needed.
  • tracking: (string) toggles tracking on a per-message basis. Pass yes or no.
  • tracking_clicks: (string) toggles clicks tracking on a per-message basis. Pass yes or no.
  • tracking_opens: (string) toggles opens tracking on a per-message basis. Pass yes or no.

Tags

To simplify statistics on your account, you can add one or several tags to sent messages, so that you can more easily filter your messages on Mailgun dashboard. Note Mailgun only allows up to 3 tags to be attached.

$message = new \SlmMail\Mail\Message\Mailgun();
$message->setTags(array('registration-mail', 'my-designed-mail'));

// Or add one:
$message->addTag('registration-mail');

Batch sending

Batch sending allows you to send an e-mail to a group from one single API call. By using recipient variables, you can define custom parameters for each recipient.

$message = new \SlmMail\Mail\Message\Mailgun();
$message->addTo('[email protected]');
$message->addTo('[email protected]');

$message->setSubject("Hi %recipient.name%");
$message->setBody("Hi, activate your account by clicking on http://mailgun.com/activate/%recipient.key%");

// Set all variables for [email protected]
$message->setRecipientVariables('[email protected]', array('name' => 'Demo', 'key' => 'key1'));

// Or add one by one for [email protected]:
$message->addRecipientVariable('[email protected]', 'name', 'Demo');
$message->addRecipientVariable('[email protected]', 'key', 'key2');

Use service locator

If you have access to the service locator, you can retrieve the Mailgun transport:

// As stated above, you can also create a specialized Mailgun message for more features
$message = new \Laminas\Mail\Message();

// set up Message here

$transport = $locator->get('SlmMail\Mail\Transport\MailgunTransport');
$transport->send($message);

Of course, you are encouraged to inject this transport object whenever you need to send an email. Note that if you have defined a template, it will automatically choose the right method in the service. This is completely transparent to the user.

Advanced usage

The transport layer depends on a service class SlmMail\Service\MailgunService which sends the requests to the Mailgun server. However, this service implements also a major part of the Mailgun API.

The service class is injected into the SlmMail\Mail\Transport\HttpTransport but you can get the service class yourself too:

$mailgunService = $locator->get('SlmMail\Service\MailgunService');
$bounce         = $mailgunService->getBounce('[email protected]'); // Example

Error handling

If an error occurs when a request is made to the Mailgun API using SlmMail\Service\Mailgun, some exceptions are thrown. Each exception implements the SlmMail\Exception\ExceptionInterface, so you can easily filter each SlmMail exceptions.

The following exceptions are thrown, depending on the errors returned by Mailgun:

  • SlmMail\Service\Exception\InvalidCredentialsException: this exception is thrown when invalid or no API key was sent.
  • SlmMail\Service\Exception\ValidationErrorException: this exception is thrown when malformed or missing data is sent.
  • SlmMail\Service\Exception\RuntimeException: this exception is thrown for other exceptions.
