This is a WordPress plugin to handle email notifications with a easy to use API. It's extensible with custom adapters (email providers). Notifications will be send via WordPress cron job, triggered every hour.
Mandrill provides a powerful API, built by the folks at MailChimp it's a good working service. You need a API-Key which you have to add to the plugin options, otherwise this adapter will not work.
req_notifications()->addNotification()
// we just support the Mandrill adapter at this time, probably others will follow
->setAdapter( 'Mandrill' )
->setSubject( 'r+ notification plugin on Fire' )
// the body has to be a string, could be html
->setBody( 'My Super-Duper-Body Text.' )
// more recipients are possible
->addRecipient( '[email protected]', 'Stefan' )
->addRecipient( '[email protected]', 'Silvan' )
// the following is optional
->addCcRecipient( '[email protected]', 'Example Mail' )
// just one bcc recipient is possible
->setBcc( '[email protected]' )
// more than one attachment is possible, just call this method how often you like
->addAttachment( '/path/to/my/attachment.ext' )
// this is the default state which will be set automatically
->setState( \Rplus\Notifications\NotificationState::ISNEW )
// schedule is optional, when set, mail will be sent at this time
// (or when the next cron job runs, after this time)
->setSchedule( date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime( '+1 day' )) )
// this could be defined in plugin options and optional be overridden here
->setSender( '[email protected]', 'The sender' )
// save this notification
->save();
// Update the subject
req_notifications()->getNotification( 123 /* The notification id */ )
->setSubject( 'I\'m a awesome notification. Trust me!' )
->save();
// Add another recipient
req_notifications()->getNotification( 123 /* The notification id */ )
->addRecipient( '[email protected]' )
->save();
