Email

std/email lets you send emails from Val town. You can send emails to yourself, only - unless you have Val Town Pro, in which case you can send emails to anyone.

Note

Want to receive emails instead? Create an email handler val

Basic usage

import { email } from "https://esm.town/v/std/email";

await email({ text: "emails emails emails!" });

Run in Val Town

to, cc, and bcc

By default, the to field is set to the owner of the Val Town account that calls it.

If you have Val Town Pro, you can send emails to anyone via the to, cc, and bcc fields.

If you don’t have Val Town Pro, you can only send emails to yourself, so leave those fields blank.

from

The from is limited to a few options:

1. It defaults to notifications@val.town if you don’t specify it.

2. If you do specify it, it must be of the form: your_username.valname@valtown.email.

Attachments

You can attach files to your emails by using the attachments field.

import { email } from "https://esm.town/v/std/email";

export const stdEmailAttachmentExample = email({
  attachments: [
    {
      content: btoa("hello attachments!"),
      filename: "test.txt",
      type: "text",
      disposition: "attachment",
    },
  ],
});

Run in Val Town
