We hope you enjoy our super simple emails!
\n \n\n```\n\n## Step 4: Previewing emails locally\n\nVisit `http://localhost:{PORT}/.netlify/functions/emails` to preview your email templates.\n\nPlease note, this preview endpoint is not made available in production and is only made available locally.\n\n## Step 5: Triggering an Email\n\nDependent on where you would like to trigger an email being sent (on a subscribe or data request button click, when an event is triggered, etc.), add one of the following snippets to your code that is reacting to that event.\n\n**@netlify/emails:**\n\n```\nawait sendEmail({\n from: \"no-reply@yourdomain.com\",\n to: \"alexanderhamilton@test.com\",\n cc: \"cc@test.com\",\n bcc: \"bcc@test.com\",\n subject: \"Welcome\",\n template: \"welcome\",\n parameters: {\n products: [\"product1\", \"product2\", \"product3\"],\n name: \"Alexander\",\n },\n});\n```\n\n**node-fetch:**\n\n```\n import fetch from 'node-fetch'\n\n await fetch(\n `${process.env.URL}/.netlify/functions/emails/welcome`,\n {\n headers: {\n \"netlify-emails-secret\": process.env.NETLIFY_EMAILS_SECRET,\n },\n method: \"POST\",\n body: JSON.stringify({\n from: \"no-reply@yourdomain.com\",\n to: \"alexanderhamilton@test.com\",\n cc: \"cc@test.com\",\n bcc: \"bcc@test.com\",\n subject: \"Welcome\",\n parameters: {\n products: [\"product1\", \"product2\", \"product3\"],\n name: \"Alexander\",\n },\n }),\n }\n );\n```\n\nYou can also trigger the email locally by running `netlify build`, then `netlify dev` and making the above request.\n\n## Release Process\n\nWe use `release-please` to automate the release process with conventional commits. To release a new version, you need to create a PR with a commit that follows the [conventional commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format. Once the PR is merged, `release-please` will create another PR if a release is required.\n\nOnce you have merged the PR created by `release-please`, it is good practice to ensure that newest version of the package works correctly. To do this, in any sample project where you have been using the email integration do the following:\n\n- Change the `netlify.toml` file to point to the `@netlify/plugin-emails` (this is ensuring you are no longer using the local version of the plugin with a relative path)\n- Run `npm install @netlify/plugin-emails@{version}` where `{version}` is the version you have just released\n- Run `netlify build` and `netlify dev` to ensure the plugin is working correctly\n","readmeFilename":"README.md"}
