Node-RED node to send email content generated by OL Connect technology using SMTP services

This smtp mail node sends pre-rendered email content, created by the email content node of the OL Connect package for Node-RED, via an SMTP service of your choosing.

Features

• Sends pre-rendered email content, created by the email content node of the OL Connect package for Node-RED.
• Uses any SMTP service
• Securely send using TLS encryption
• Accepts multiple replyTo addressees
• Sends messages to a test address.

Installation

Use the Manage Palette option from the Node-RED-menu, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm install @objectif-lune/node-red-contrib-smtp-mail

Obviously, you must have OL Connect installed on a server that can be reached from the one where Node-RED is installed, otherwise you won't be able to perform any automation tasks.

Usage

This smtp mail node should be placed after the email content node of the OL Connect package for Node-RED. The node takes its information from the messages array in msg.payload. This data could be modified and extended using a function node (for example to add static attachments).

To send an email SMTP host and port information is required. This is as well as a userId and password, but only if authorisation is necessary.

Note also that this node requires you to specify the connection to the OL Connect Server.
