I'm trying to get all of my system's email notifications under one umbrella using PostMarkApp and utilizing the Rails gems (postmark-rails, postmark-gem, and mail). I have successfully created a mailer that handles sending receipts for purchases but I haven't been able to receive emails for forgotten passwords. My development logs show that Devise sent the message but no email is received in my inbox and the PostMark credits are not decremented.
What's the best or easiest way to have Devise's mailers send through my PostMark account?
Snippet from config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :postmark
config.action_mailer.postmark_settings = { :api_key => "VALID_API_KEY_WAS_HERE" }
config.postmark_signature = VALID_POSTMARK_SIGNATURE_WAS_HERE
My Mailer that uses Postmark
class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
# set some sensible defaults
default :from => MyApp::Application.config.postmark_signature
def receipt_message(order)
@order = order
@billing_address = order.convert_billing_address_to_hash(order.billing_address)
mail(:to => @order.user.email, :subject => "Your Order Receipt", :tag => 'order-receipt', :content_type => "text/html") do |format|
format.html
end
end
end
Solved it by having my Notifier
mailer extend Devise::Mailer and specifying Devise to use my Notifier as the mailer within config/initializers/devise.rb
snippet from config/initializers/devise.rb
# Configure the class responsible to send e-mails.
config.mailer = "Notifier"
My Notifier Mailer now
class Notifier < Devise::Mailer
# set some sensible defaults
default :from => MyApp::Application.config.postmark_signature
# send a receipt of the Member's purchase
def receipt_message(order)
@order = order
@billing_address = order.convert_billing_address_to_hash(order.billing_address)
mail(:to => @order.user.email, :subject => "Your Order Receipt", :tag => 'order-receipt', :content_type => "text/html") do |format|
format.html
end
end
# send password reset instructions
def reset_password_instructions(user)
@resource = user
mail(:to => @resource.email, :subject => "Reset password instructions", :tag => 'password-reset', :content_type => "text/html") do |format|
format.html { render "devise/mailer/reset_password_instructions" }
end
end
end
Using the latest version of Devise, the methods above didn't help me. This is my solution.
In config/application.rb:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :postmark
config.action_mailer.postmark_settings = { :api_key => "your-API-key-here" }
In config/initializers/devise.rb:
config.mailer = "UserMailer" # UserMailer is my mailer class
In app/mailers/user_mailer.rb:
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
include Devise::Mailers::Helpers
default from: "[email protected]"
def confirmation_instructions(record)
devise_mail(record, :confirmation_instructions)
end
def reset_password_instructions(record)
devise_mail(record, :reset_password_instructions)
end
def unlock_instructions(record)
devise_mail(record, :unlock_instructions)
end
# you can then put any of your own methods here
end
Finally, make sure you have generated custom devise views
rails generate devise:views
and move the email templates from app/views/devise/mailer/ to app/views/user_mailer/
mv app/views/devise/mailer/* app/views/user_mailer/
