Usage

Sending Messages with the Paubox Mail Helper

Sending via Paubox is easy. This is the minimum content needed to send an email.

import paubox
from paubox.helpers.mail import Mail

paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient()
recipients = ["recipient@example.com"]
from_ = "sender@yourdomain.com"
subject = "Testing!"
content = {"text/plain": "Hello World!"}
mail = Mail(from_, subject, recipients, content)
response = paubox_client.send(mail.get())
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)

Sending Messages without the Mail Helper Class

import paubox

paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient()
mail = {
    "data": {
        "message": {
            "recipients": [
                "recipient@example.com"
            ],
            "headers": {
                "subject": "Testing!",
                "from": "sender@yourdomain.com"
            },
            "content": {
                "text/plain": "Hello World!",
            }
        }
    }
}
response = paubox_client.send(mail)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)

Sending Messages with all available headers

Using Mail Class Helper

import paubox
import base64
from paubox.helpers.mail import Mail

paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient()
recipients = ["recipient@example.com"]
from_ = "sender@yourdomain.com"
subject = "Testing!"
attachment_content = base64.b64encode("Hello World!")
content = {
    "text/plain": "Hello World!",
    "text/html": "<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>"
}
optional_headers = {
    "attachments": [{
        "fileName": "the_file.txt",
        "contentType": "text/plain",
        "content": attachment_content
    }],
    'reply_to': 'replies@yourdomain.com',
    'bcc': 'recipient2@example.com'
}
mail = Mail(from_, subject, recipients, content, optional_headers)
response = paubox_client.send(mail.get())
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)

Without the Mail Class Helper

import paubox
import base64

paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient()
attachment_content = base64.b64encode("Hello World!")
mail = {
    "data": {
        "message": {
            "recipients": [
                "recipient@example.com"
            ],
            "bcc": ["recipient2@example.com"],
            "headers": {
                "subject": "Testing!",
                "from": "Sender <sender@yourdomain.com>",
                "reply-to": "Reply-to <replies@yourdomain.com>"
            },
            "content": {
                "text/plain": "Hello World!",
                "text/html": "<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>"
            },
            "attachments": [{
                    "fileName": "the_file.txt",
                    "contentType": "text/plain",
                    "content": attachment_content
            }]
        }
    }
}
response = paubox_client.send(mail)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.text)

Checking Email Dispositions

The SOURCE_TRACKING_ID of a message is returned in the response.text of your send request. Use response.to_dict to access the response text as a dictionary.

import paubox

paubox_client = paubox.PauboxApiClient()
disposition_response = paubox_client.get("SOURCE_TRACKING_ID")
print(disposition_response.status_code)
print(disposition_response.headers)
print(disposition_response.text)
