Send custom HTML email

If you'd like to set your own HTML for an email, use the html parameter. 
Sending HTML over email is a mess. Knowing what email clients support what HTML features can be a full-time job. 
We recommend using our Visual Drag-and-Drop editor to create a standard-compliant email that will look properly in all email clients. Learn more​
To send a custom HTML email, send a request to the API as follows:
1
const axios = require('axios');
2
​
3
// Send a POST request
4
axios({
5
  method: 'post',
6
  url: 'https://api.encharge.io/v1/emails/send?token=yourAPIKey',
7
  data: {
8
    "to": "[email protected]",
9
    "from": "[email protected]",
10
    "subject": "Welcome",
11
    "html": "<div>Hello and welcome, <b>{{ person.firstName }}</b>!</div>",
12
    /**
13
   * Optionally, you can include a dictionary of fields to be replaced.
14
   * For example, passing
15
   * `{ "loginURL": "https://app.encharge.io/login/3n2l3ad99"}`
16
   * will replace
17
   * `{{ loginURL }}` in the email html or subject.
18
   */

    "templateProperties": {
20
      "loginURL": "https://app.encharge.io/login/3n2l3ad99"
21
    }
22
  }
23
});
Copied!
If you have previously created the recipient  in Encharge, you can use personalization tags, for example {{ person.firstName }} in your email's text. See what fields you can use in Person Fields.
