3. Update your dependencies:

$ mix deps.get

Usage

Configuration

In your config/config.exs file:

config :sparkpost, api_key: "YOUR-API-KEY"

Option 1: Convenience

defmodule MyApp.Example do
  def send_message do
    SparkPost.send to: "[email protected]",
         from: "[email protected]",
         subject: "Sending email from Elixir is awesome!",
         text: "Hi there!",
         html: "<p>Hi there!</p>"
  end
end

Option 2: Full SparkPost API

defmodule MyApp.Example do
  alias SparkPost.{Content, Recipient, Transmission}
  
	def send_message do
    Transmission.send(%Transmission{
        recipients: [ "[email protected]" ],
        content: %Content.Inline{
          subject: "Sending email from Elixir is awesome!",
          from: "[email protected]", 
          text: "Hi there!",
          html: "<p>Hi there!</p>"
        }
