# Emailbutler
Simple email tracker for Ruby on Rails applications.
Emailbutler allows you to track delivery status of emails sent by your app through Sendgrid, SMTP2GO, Resend, Mailjet.
There are situations when you need to check whether a certain letter or certain type of letters was successfully sent from the application, and through the UI of some providers you can try to find such a letter by the recipient or the subject of the letter, but sometimes it's not enough.
Emailbutler allows you to monitor the sending of letters, collects notifications from providers about the success of delivery and adds an UI for monitoring deliveries with filtering by recipients, mailers and actions.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'emailbutler'
gem 'pagy'
```
And then execute:
```bash
$ bundle install
$ rails g emailbutler:active_record
$ rails db:migrate
```
