You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.
The recommended way to install composer packages is:
composer require jorisvaesen/cakephp-sendgrid
Load the plugin in config/bootstrap.php:
Plugin::load('JorisVaesen/Sendgrid', ['bootstrap' => true]);
The plugin loads from dotenv the following:
SENDGRID_API_KEY="your_sendgrid_api_key"
Set the sendgrid api key in app.php:
'Sendgrid' => [
'apiKey' => 'your_sendgrid_api_key',
],
Add in your app.php file, in the EmailTransport item
'EmailTransport' => [
...
'sendgrid' => [
'className' => '\JorisVaesen\Sendgrid\Mailer\Transport\SendgridTransport',
'password' => 'your_sendgrid_api_key',
],
...
],
To use it by default, set your default transport to sendgrid
in app.php:
'Email' => [
'default' => [
'transport' => 'sendgrid',
],
],
If you want to use Sendgrid API methods which do not have a CakePHP equivalent, you can make use of the callback configuration:
'EmailTransport' => [
...
'sendgrid' => [
'className' => '\JorisVaesen\Sendgrid\Mailer\Transport\SendgridTransport',
'password' => 'your_sendgrid_api_key',
'callback' => function (\SendGrid\Mail\Mail $sendgridEmail, \Cake\Mailer\Email $cakephpEmail) {
if ($cakephpEmail->getSubject() === 'If you open this mail...') {
$sendgridEmail->setOpenTracking(true);
}
return $sendgridEmail;
},
],
...
],
$email = new Email('default');
$email->viewBuilder()->setLayout('default);
/* @var \Sendgrid\Response $response */
$response = $email
->setProfile('sendgrid') // optional when you've set sendgrid as the default transport in configuration
->setEmailFormat('html')
->setSender('[email protected]', 'Example sender')
->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Example From')
->setReplyTo('[email protected]', 'Example ReplyTo')
->setTo('[email protected]', 'Example To')
->setSubject('Sample email')
->setTemplate('default')
->setViewVars([])
->send();
return $response->statusCode() === 202;
