# Paubox Gem
This gem and Paubox Transactional Email HTTP API are currently in pre-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.

## 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. Please contact [Paubox Customer Success](https://paubox.zendesk.com/hc/en-us) for details on gaining access to the Transactional Email API alpha testing program.

### Configuring API Credentials
To set your API credentials you'll need to include these in an initializer (config/initializers/paubox.rb in Rails).

Be careful not to commit your API credentials to version control. It's best to store these in environmental variables.

	Paubox.configure do |config|
     config.api_key = ENV['PAUBOX_API_KEY']
     config.api_user = ENV['PAUBOX_API_USER']
    end


### Sending Messages with the Ruby Mail Library

If you're already using the Ruby Mail Library, sending via Paubox is easy. Just build your message as normal and set Mail::Paubox as the delivery method.

	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          '<h1>This message will be sent securely by Paubox.</h1>'
      end

      delivery_method Mail::Paubox
    end
    
    message.deliver!
    => {"message"=>"Service OK", "sourceTrackingId"=>"2a3c048485aa4cf6"}
    
    message.source_tracking_id
    => "2a3c048485aa4cf6"

### Sending Messages without ensuring TLS

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.

	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
	
	args = { from: 'you@yourdomain.com',
	         to: 'someone@domain.com, someone_else@domain.com',
             cc: ['another@domain.com', 'yetanother@domain.com'],
             bcc: 'bcc-recipient@domain.com',
             reply_to: 'reply-to@yourdomain.com',
             subject: 'Testing!',
             text_content: 'Hello World!',
             html_content: '<h1>Hello World!</h1>' }
             
	message = Message.new(args)
	
	client = Paubox::Client.new
	client.deliver_mail(message)
	=> {"message"=>"Service OK", "sourceTrackingId"=>"2a3c048485aa4cf6"}
