trackmail

Java app to send and track email

Installation

This app is built on Spring Boot 3.0.4 and Gradle-Kotlin and is generated from https://start.spring.io/

1. Install OpenJDK 17
2. Install Redis (Optionally use a Redis Client, example - Red for Mac)

How to Run the App

1. Clone this repository

2. Set up your Gmail password to be used by this app here - https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

3. Store your google creds in Redis using this command -> HMSET EmailAccount id “admin” emailId "your-email-id" appPwd "your-app-password”

4. Build and run the spring boot app

5. Use this curl to send email curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/email/send' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{"subject":"test mail","content":"this is a test email","toAddress":"xx@yy.com"}

6. Tracker API is called from email client (localhost calls are only made from email clients like Outlook and Mail on Mac, it will not be called from browsers)
