Paubox # Paubox Gem This gem and Paubox Transactional Email HTTP API are currently in alpha development. This is the official Ruby wrapper for the Paubox Transactional Email HTTP API. The Paubox Transactional Email API allows your application to send secure, HIPAA-compliant email via Paubox and track deliveries and opens. It extends the [Ruby Mail Library](https://github.com/mikel/mail) for seamless integration in your existing Ruby application. The API wrapper also allows you to construct and send messages directly without the Ruby Mail Library. # Table of Contents * [Installation](#installation) * [Usage](#usage) * [Contributing](#contributing) * [License](#license) ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'paubox' ``` And then execute: $ bundle install Or install it yourself as: $ gem install paubox ### Getting Paubox API Credentials You will need to have a Paubox account. You can [sign up here](https://www.paubox.com/join/see-pricing?unit=messages). Once you have an account, follow the instructions on the Rest API dashboard to verify domain ownership and generate API credentials. ### Configuring API Credentials Include your API credentials in an initializer (e.g. config/initializers/paubox.rb in Rails). Keep your API credentials out of version control. Store these in environmental variables. ```ruby Paubox.configure do |config| config.api_key = ENV['PAUBOX_API_KEY'] config.api_user = ENV['PAUBOX_API_USER'] end ``` ## Usage ### Sending Messages with the Ruby Mail Library Using the Ruby Mail Library? Sending via Paubox is easy. Just build a message as normal and set Mail::Paubox as the delivery method. ```ruby message = Mail.new do from 'you@yourdomain.com' to 'someone@somewhere.com' subject 'HIPAA-compliant email made easy' text_part do body 'This message will be sent securely by Paubox.' end html_part do content_type 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' body '

This message will be sent securely by Paubox.

' end delivery_method Mail::Paubox end message.deliver! => {"message"=>"Service OK", "sourceTrackingId"=>"2a3c048485aa4cf6"} message.source_tracking_id => "2a3c048485aa4cf6" ``` ### Allowing non-TLS message delivery If you want to send non-PHI mail that does not need to be HIPAA-compliant, you can allow the message delivery to take place even if a TLS connection is unavailable. This means a message will not be converted into a secure portal message when a non-TLS connection is encountered. ```ruby message = Mail.new do from 'you@yourdomain.com' to 'someone@somewhere.com' subject 'Sending non-PHI' body 'This message delivery will not enforce TLS transmission.' delivery_method Mail::Paubox end message.allow_non_tls = true message.deliver! ``` ### Sending Messages using just the Paubox API You don't need to use Ruby Mail to build and send messages with Paubox. ```ruby args = { from: 'you@yourdomain.com', to: 'someone@domain.com, someone-else@domain.com', cc: ['another@domain.com', 'yet-another@domain.com'], bcc: 'bcc-recipient@domain.com', reply_to: 'reply-to@yourdomain.com', subject: 'Testing!', text_content: 'Hello World!', html_content: '

Hello World!

' } message = Paubox::Message.new(args) client = Paubox::Client.new client.deliver_mail(message) => {"message"=>"Service OK", "sourceTrackingId"=>"2a3c048485aa4cf6"} ``` ### Checking Email Dispositions ```ruby client = Paubox::Client.new email_disposition = client.email_disposition('2a3c048485aa4cf6') # Get array of email_dispositions. One email_disposition is generated for each recipient. message_deliveries = email_disposition.message_deliveries => [>] # Inspect a message delivery delivery = message_deliveries.first delivery.recipient => "test@domain.com" # Inspect the message delivery status status = delivery.status status.delivery_status => "delivered" status.delivery_time => Mon, 30 Apr 2018 12:54:19 -0700 # opened_status is only available for single-recipient messages status.opened_status => "opened" # opened_time is only available for single-recipient messages status.opened_time => Mon, 30 Apr 2018 12:55:19 -0700 ``` ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/paubox/paubox_ruby. ## License Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
