If you are using some other email service and are not currently willing to switch to Shootmail , though we highly recommend to because we are fast, safe and provide advanced analytics. You can use Shootmail templates and keep sending mails using any of the supported providers.

​
Setting up

Install the Shootmail javascript SDK

npm i --save shootmail

​
Initialize client

import { Shootmail, type ShootMailConfig } from "shootmail";

const shootmail = new Shootmail(shootmailConfig);

​
Shootmail Config

This is a one time setup. These settings will be used for all the mails you send. In this step, configure one or more email services you wish to use using providers array, like this:

providers: [
        {
            "provider": "zoho",
            "apiKey": ZOHO
        },
        {
            "provider": "resend",
            "apiKey": RESEND
        },
        {
            "provider": "sendgrid",
            "apiKey": SENDGRID_KEY
        },
        {
            "provider": "postmark",
            "apiKey": POSTMARK_KEY
        },
    ],

So your comple configuration should look like:

const shootmailConfig: ShootMailConfig = {
        shootmailApiKey: "shootmail-api-key",
        providers: [
            {
                "provider": "zoho",
                "apiKey": ZOHO
            },
            {
                "provider": "resend",
                "apiKey": RESEND
            },
            {
                "provider": "sendgrid",
                "apiKey": SENDGRID_KEY
            },
            {
                "provider": "postmark",
                "apiKey": POSTMARK_KEY
            },
        ],
        brand: {
            color: "#1A77F2",
            logo: {
                light: "https://res.cloudinary.com/curead/image/upload/c_scale,f_auto,q_auto,w_343/v1712843877/Shootmail/logos/shootm-logo-with-name_jgdq2l.png",
                dark: "https://res.cloudinary.com/curead/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,w_343/v1713876965/Shootmail/logos/shootm-logo-with-name-dark-mode_rziumz.png",
                default: "https://res.cloudinary.com/curead/image/upload/c_scale,f_auto,q_auto,w_343/v1712843877/Shootmail/logos/shootm-logo-with-name_jgdq2l.png",
            },
            name: "Shootmail",
            website: "https://shootmail.app",
            support: {
                email: "hi@shootmail.app",
                slack: "hi@shootmail.app"
            }
        },
        socialMedia: {
            instagram: "https://shootmail.app",
            x: "https://mystorebud1.com",
            youTube: "https://mystorebud2.com",
            meta: "https://mystorebud3.com",
            linkedIn: "https://shootmail.app"
        }
};

That’s it, now you can keep using the Shootmail SDK as mentioned in the usage docs.
