Prerequisites

​
Sending an Email

After setting up your domain and API key, you can send emails using the SDK or directly via HTTP requests. 
import { SendLayer } from 'sendlayer';

const sendlayer = new SendLayer('your-api-key');

const params = {
  from: 'sender@example.com',
  to: 'recipient@example.com', // or array of recipients
  subject: 'Test Email',
  text: 'This is a test email sent using SendLayer Node.js SDK',
};

const response = await sendlayer.Emails.send(params);
Replace <apiKey> with your actual SendLayer API key in the request header.
You can also send to multiple recipients, add CC/BCC, and attach files. SendLayer API also let’s you send HTML emails. This can be useful if you’d like to use a template to send welcome emails to new users. To send HTML emails, simply update the params variable to include the html object. Then enter your HTML email as a string. 
const params = {
  from: 'sender@example.com',
  to: 'recipient@example.com', // or array of recipients
  subject: 'Test Email',
  html: '<html><body><p>This is a test email sent with the <a href=\"https://sendlayer.com\">SendLayer</a> API!</p></body></html>',
};
