I've been grappling with an issue for over a week while trying to develop a web application that sends welcome emails to new subscribers. Despite my API code working perfectly, I cannot seem to get any output on the console indicating success or failure of the email delivery. No matter what I try, the terminal remains unresponsive.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const axios = require('axios');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
// setting up a server to send welcome emails to users who subscribe
app.post('/send-welcome-email', async (req, res) => {
const { email } = req.body;
const emailData = {
From: '<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e497838596858fa48081858f8d8aca818091ca8591">[email protected]</a>',
To: email,
Subject: 'Welcome to DevLink',
HtmlBody: '<html><head></head><body><p>Welcome to DevLink, thanks for jooining our platform!</p></body></html>'
};
try {
const response = await axios.post('https://api.postmarkapp.com/email', emailData, {
headers: {
'Authorization': `MY_API_TOKEN`,
'Accept': 'application/json',
'content-type': 'application/json'
}
});
res.status(200).send('Email sent');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(500).send('Something went wrong');
}
});
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`));body {
