Send Emails with Ruby

Use the official isend.ai Ruby SDK to send transactional emails using any provider via isend.ai.

​
1. Install

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile: 
gem 'isend'
Then run: 
bundle install
Or install it directly: 
gem install isend

​
2. Send an Email

require 'isend'

# Initialize the client
client = ISend::Client.new('your-api-key-here')

# Email data
email_data = {
  template_id: 124,
  to: '[email protected]',
  dataMapping: {
    name: 'ISend'
  }
}

response = client.send_email(email_data)
puts response

​
3. With Custom Configuration

client = ISend::Client.new('your-api-key-here', timeout: 60)

email_data = {
  template_id: 124,
  to: '[email protected]',
  dataMapping: {
    name: 'ISend',
    company: 'Your Company'
  }
}

response = client.send_email(email_data)

​
4. Error Handling

begin
  response = client.send_email({
    template_id: 124,
    to: '[email protected]',
    dataMapping: {
      name: 'ISend'
    }
  })
rescue ISend::InvalidArgumentError => e
  puts "Invalid argument: #{e.message}"
rescue ISend::ApiError => e
  puts "API error: #{e.message}"
rescue ISend::Error => e
  puts "General error: #{e.message}"
end

​
5. Rails Integration

config/initializers/isend.rb 
ISEND_CLIENT = ISend::Client.new(ENV['ISEND_API_KEY'])
Usage in app 
class UserMailer
  def self.send_welcome_email(user)
    email_data = {
      template_id: 124,
      to: user.email,
      dataMapping: {
        name: user.name,
        company: user.company
      }
    }

    ISEND_CLIENT.send_email(email_data)
  end
end

​
6. Background Job Example

class EmailJob < ApplicationJob
  queue_as :default

  def perform(user_id, template_id)
    user = User.find(user_id)

    email_data = {
      template_id: template_id,
      to: user.email,
      dataMapping: {
        name: user.name
      }
    }

    ISEND_CLIENT.send_email(email_data)
  end
end
