Email Template

Mail expects your email templates to be written in EJS template files or whatever template engine you've setup in your Sails project. These files are expected to be in the views/emails directory.

Naming convention

Email template names are relative to views/emails, so a template can be named plainly like verify-account.ejs or nested like internal/contact-form.ejs.

Legacy names prefixed with email- still work, but they are no longer required.

Example

Here is an example email template that's in views/emails/verify-account.ejs:

<h2
  style="margin-bottom: 32px; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: 33px; letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left;"
>
  Welcome, <%= fullName %>!
</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 32px;">
  You're almost ready to get started. Just click the button below to verify the
  email address for your account:
</p>
<div
  style="background: #6C25C1; display: inline-block; color: white; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 4px; text-align: center; width: 151px; padding: 8px 16px 8px 16px"
>
  <a
    style="margin: auto; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; color: white; line-height: 22px;"
    href="<%= url.resolve(sails.config.custom.baseUrl,'/verify-email')+'?token='+encodeURIComponent(token) %>"
    >Verify email</a
  >
</div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 25px;">
  If you have any trouble, try pasting this link in your browser:
  <a
    style="color: #00ACC4; word-wrap: break-word;"
    href="<%= url.resolve(sails.config.custom.baseUrl,'/verify-email')+'?token='+encodeURIComponent(token) %>"
    ><%=
    url.resolve(sails.config.custom.baseUrl,'/verify-email')+'?token='+encodeURIComponent(token)
    %></a
  >
</p>
