Ask HN: What solution do you use for sending transactional emails to your users?

3 pointsmanceraio2 comments

I always use Mailgun + Laravel Notification system. I write the email templates with Markdown or Blade.

How do you implement your transactional email system if you use other languages/frameworks?

https://postmarkapp.com/ who do only transactional emails and there's no free plan. The account isn't even complete setup until you've send an email via their API and a customer service person has reviewed your setup. It's extra steps but we found their delivery rates better than sendgrid/mailgun in the past. We have the email templates in our Ruby framework (Rails) with some inline CSS (based on https://github.com/mailgun/transactional-email-templates).

We use AWS SES via the https://www.sendwithses.com/ wrapper.
