Test endpoints locally

Simplemail currently does not support send request to local url by passing it to callback_url . In order to test email service, you may have to setup it locally.

Local environment requirements

  • Typescript installed at your device

  • Redis server installed at your device

Step 1: Clone the repo

Clone the repo from

LogoGitHub - Vong3432/simplemail: Small service that let you send gmail by API for freeGitHub
Simplemail Github repo

Step 2: Install packages

npm install

Step 3: Start the Simplemail & workers 

npm start
npm run start:workers

Step 4: Call send email endpoints

Since this is running on your local device, instead of calling the remote API endpoints, you may send request to localhost to send email.

❌ Instead of
https://simplemail-nodejs.herokuapp.com/send-email

✅ Do this
http://localhost:5003/send-email

Once you are done with testing at development, then in your server you may change the send email endpoints to the remote API endpoints in your production server.
