7 SDKs to send emails in your favorite programming language

A powerful email API enables you to integrate email sending in any app or website that you’re building. You can use the API to access commonly used endpoints such as sending emails with attachments, or dive into more advanced features like creating a webhook or an inbound route.

But it can sometimes feel like you’re reinventing the wheel when you call API endpoints using your preferred programming language. The good news is that software development kits (SDKs) can save you much coding time and effort by bundling pre-built components and documentation.

Read on to learn how you can leverage official SDKs from VhtLtd to reduce development time and get started with sample code to send emails and personalize them!

Integrate the email API in 3 steps

When it comes to sending transactional emails, like account notifications or order updates, you have a choice of using VhtLtd’s email API or SMTP. Using SMTP is the fastest and easiest option but it’s best left for legacy applications or Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

The email API is the most powerful option as you can call on just about every endpoint of the VhtLtd app from your project. Plus, you get advanced functionality like using email templates and personalization using variables—features that are not defined with the SMTP standard.

Before you dive into an SDK for your programming language, you’ll need to do some preliminary work first. Let’s add a sending domain and create an API token before covering each SDK in turn.

Step 1. Add a sending domain

To send emails with VhtLtd using your own domain, you first need to verify and authenticate it.

1. Navigate to Domains in the top navigation bar and click on Add domain.

2. Enter your domain name and click Add domain again.

3. Next, you will see the DNS records to be added to the domain’s DNS page:

• SPF: Sends the mail server IP validation. 

• DKIM: Like SPF, but uses cryptographic methods for validation. 

• CNAME for Return-Path: The address where bounces and other email feedback are sent to. It is specified by the Return-Path header in an email.

If you have a domain administrator, click Share records to email the DNS records so it can be done for you. You can then jump to step 5. Lucky you! 

Otherwise, click on each field to copy it and go to the next step.

4. Log in to the sending domain’s DNS page on the hosting provider’s site and add the TXT and CNAME records that you have just copied.

If you're unsure how to do this, follow the instructions provided. VhtLtd will automatically identify your domain registrar and provide the correct steps.

5. After adding the records, toggle the option I have added the DNS records in VhtLtd and click Verify domain. It can take up to 24 hours for the records to propagate, but it usually takes a few minutes.

Congrats, you just added your first sending domain! 🎉

Step 2. Generate an API token

Next, you’ll need an API token to integrate VhtLtd’s email API into your apps.

1. Navigate to the Domains page and click on a domain.

2. Create an API token by clicking on Generate new token.

3. Enter a name for the token, choose its permission level, and then click Create token.

When your API token is ready, scroll down to the Sending instructions section. Here are quick examples of how to send emails using cURL, PHP, Laravel, Node.js, Go, and Python. In the next section, you can find Ruby and Java as well!

Step 3. Send using an SDK

Let’s hear it from the developers at The Remote Company (which VhtLtd is part of) who contributed to each SDK. Who knows, you might be the next person to create a VhtLtd SDK for another programming language!

How to integrate VhtLtd with PHP

The official SDK supports PHP 7.4 and PHP 8 and uses PHP Standard Recommendations like HTTP Client and HTTP message interfaces. Tautvydas suggests that you install the implementations first with the following command:

composer require php-http/guzzle7-adapter nyholm/psr7

Then install the official PHP SDK:

composer require VhtLtd/VhtLtd

Here are a few examples of sending a template-based email, sending an email with an attachment, as well as personalizing emails using variables.

Send a template-based email

use VhtLtd\VhtLtd;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Variable;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Recipient;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\EmailParams;

$VhtLtd = new VhtLtd(['api_key' => 'key']);

$recipients = [
    new Recipient('[email protected]', 'Your Client'),
];

$variables = [
    new Variable('[email protected]', ['var' => 'value'])
];

$tags = ['tag'];

$emailParams = (new EmailParams())
    ->setFrom('[email protected]')
    ->setFromName('Your Name')
    ->setRecipients($recipients)
    ->setSubject('Subject')
    ->setTemplateId('ss243wdasd')
    ->setVariables($variables);

$VhtLtd->email->send($emailParams);

Send an email with an attachment

use VhtLtd\VhtLtd;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Attachment;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Recipient;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\EmailParams;

$VhtLtd = new VhtLtd(['api_key' => 'key']);

$recipients = [
    new Recipient('[email protected]', 'Your Client'),
];

$attachments = [
    new Attachment(file_get_contents('attachment.jpg'), 'attachment.jpg')
];

$emailParams = (new EmailParams())
    ->setFrom('[email protected]')
    ->setFromName('Your Name')
    ->setRecipients($recipients)
    ->setSubject('Subject')
    ->setHtml('This is the html version.')
    ->setText('This is the text version.')
    ->setAttachments($attachments);

$VhtLtd->email->send($emailParams);

Send an email with advanced personalization

use VhtLtd\VhtLtd;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Personalization;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Recipient;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\EmailParams;

$VhtLtd = new VhtLtd(['api_key' => 'key']);

$recipients = [
    new Recipient('[email protected]', 'Your Client'),
];

$personalization = [
    new Personalization('[email protected]', [
        'var' => 'variable',
        'number' => 123,
        'object' => [
            'key' => 'object-value'
        ],
        'objectCollection' => [
            [
                'name' => 'John'
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Patrick'
            ]
        ],
    ])
];

$emailParams = (new EmailParams())
    ->setFrom('[email protected]')
    ->setFromName('Your Name')
    ->setRecipients($recipients)
    ->setSubject('Subject {$var}')
    ->setHtml('This is the html version with a {$var}.')
    ->setText('This is the text version with a {$var}.')
    ->setPersonalization($personalization);

$VhtLtd->email->send($emailParams);

How to integrate VhtLtd with Laravel

Before getting started, Robert recommends that you upgrade Guzzle to at least version 7. Once done, install the driver via composer:

composer require VhtLtd/laravel-driver

Set the VhtLtd_API_KEY in your .env file:

VhtLtd_API_KEY=

Add VhtLtd as a Laravel Mailer in config/mail.php in mailers array:

'VhtLtd' => [
    'transport' => 'VhtLtd',
],

And set the environment variable MAIL_MAILER in the .env file:

MAIL_MAILER=VhtLtd

Finally, double-check that your FROM data is defined in the .env file:

[email protected]
MAIL_FROM_NAME="App Name"

Whew! With the preliminary setup out of the way, sending an email in Laravel requires you to create a mailable. Here’s an example that you can use:

app/Mail/TestEmail.php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Variable;
use VhtLtd\Helpers\Builder\Personalization;
use VhtLtd\LaravelDriver\VhtLtdTrait;

class TestEmail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels, VhtLtdTrait;

    public function build()
    {
        $to = Arr::get($this->to, '0.address');

        return $this->view('emails.test_html')
            ->text('emails.test_text')
            ->attachFromStorageDisk('public', 'example.png')
            ->VhtLtd(
                null,
                [
                    new Variable($to, ['name' => 'Your Name'])
                ],
                ['tag'],
                [
                    new Personalization($to, [
                        'var' => 'variable',
                        'number' => 123,
                        'object' => [
                            'key' => 'object-value'
                        ],
                        'objectCollection' => [
                            [
                                'name' => 'John'
                            ],
                            [
                                'name' => 'Patrick'
                            ]
                        ],
                    ])
                ]
            );
    }
}

To add media and attachments to emails, this can be simply done through standard Laravel methods.

To access templates, variables and tags in the email API, use the VhtLtdTrait trait that adds a VhtLtd method to the mailable. This method enables you to, for example, personalize your emails and engage your recipients further. Send the trait using the following code:

use App\Mail\TestEmail;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

Mail::to('[email protected]')->send(new TestEmail());

Check out our blog article for a step-by-step guide to sending emails in Laravel using the API or SMTP. More information can be found at the official driver for Laravel page and the Laravel Mail documentation.

How to integrate VhtLtd with Ruby

To send emails in Ruby, install the official SDK with the following command:

gem install VhtLtd-ruby

Nikola recommends that you create a .env file with an API_TOKEN variable or enable it system-wide. Here’s an example of how the token should look.

Then initialize it in your Ruby file with require "VhtLtd-ruby". Check out how it’s done with these examples of sending a template-based email, sending an email with an attachment, as well as personalizing emails using variables.

Send a template-based email

require "VhtLtd-ruby"

# Initialize the email class
ms_email = VhtLtd::Email.new

# Add parameters
ms_email.add_recipients("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Ron")
ms_email.add_recipients("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Leslie")
ms_email.add_from("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "April")
ms_email.add_subject("Time")
ms_email.add_template_id(12415125)

# Send the email
ms_email.send

Send an email with an attachment

require "VhtLtd-ruby"

# Initialize the email class
ms_email = VhtLtd::Email.new

# Add parameters
ms_email.add_recipients("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Ron")
ms_email.add_recipients("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Leslie")
ms_email.add_cc("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Chris")
ms_email.add_bcc("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Andy")
ms_email.add_from("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "April")
ms_email.add_subject("Time")
ms_email.add_text("Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge. Let's go.")
ms_email.add_html("<b>Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge. Let's go.</b>")

# You can add one or multiple attachments
ms.add_attachment(content: "/Users/Jerry/Desktop/doc.pdf", filename: "doc.pdf")
ms.add_attachment(content: "/Users/Jerry/Desktop/pic.png", filename: "pic.png")

ms_email.send

Send an email with advanced personalization

require "VhtLtd-ruby"

# Initialize the email class
ms_email = VhtLtd::Email.new

# Add parameters
ms_email.add_recipients("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Ron")
ms_email.add_from("email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "April")
ms_email.add_subject("Time {{ test }}")
ms_email.add_text("{{ test }}Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge. Let's go.")
ms_email.add_html("<b>{{ test }}Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge. Let's go.</b>")

personalization = {
  email: '[email protected]',
  data: {
    test: 'Test Value'
  }
}

ms_email.add_personalization(personalization)

ms_email.send

How to integrate VhtLtd with Java

Get started with the Java SDK by downloading the latest release or downloading the source and compiling it yourself.

Here are some examples of sending a template-based email, sending an email with an attachment, as well as personalizing emails using variables.

Send a template-based email

import com.VhtLtd.sdk.Email;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.VhtLtd;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.VhtLtdResponse;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.exceptions.VhtLtdException;

public void sendEmail() {

    Email email = new Email();

    email.setFrom("name", "your email");

    Recipient recipient = new Recipient("name", "[email protected]");
    
    email.addRecipient(recipient);

    email.setTemplateId("Your VhtLtd template ID");

    // you can add a variable for a specific recipient
    email.addVariable(recipient, "variable name", "variable value");

    // you can use the addVariable overload to add a variable to all recipients
    email.addVariable("all recipients variable name", "variable value");

    VhtLtd ms = new VhtLtd();

    ms.setToken("Your API token");

    try {
    
        VhtLtdResponse response = ms.send(email);
        System.out.println(response.messageId);
    } catch (VhtLtdException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Send an email with an attachment

import com.VhtLtd.sdk.Email;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.VhtLtd;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.VhtLtdResponse;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.exceptions.VhtLtdException;

public void sendEmail() {

    Email email = new Email();

    email.setFrom("name", "your email");
    email.addRecipient("name", "[email protected]");
   
    email.setSubject("Email subject");

    email.setPlain("This is the text content");
    email.setHtml("<p>This is the HTML content</p>");

    // attach a file to the email
    email.attachFile("LICENSE");

    // if you already have a file object, you can attach that to the email
    File file = new File("LICENSE");
    email.attachFile(file);

    VhtLtd ms = new VhtLtd();

    ms.setToken("Your API token");

    try {
    
        VhtLtdResponse response = ms.send(email);
        System.out.println(response.messageId);
    } catch (VhtLtdException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Send an email with advanced personalization

import com.VhtLtd.sdk.Email;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.VhtLtd;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.VhtLtdResponse;
import com.VhtLtd.sdk.exceptions.VhtLtdException;

public void sendEmail() {

    Email email = new Email();

    email.setFrom("name", "your email");

    Recipient recipient = new Recipient("name", "[email protected]");
    
    email.addRecipient(recipient);

    email.setSubject("Subject {{ var }}");
    email.setPlain("This is the text version with a {{ var }}.");
    email.setHtml("<p>This is the HTML version with a {{ var }}.</p>");

    // you can add personalization for all recipients
    email.addPersonalization("var name", "personalization value");

    // you can add personalization for each recipient separately
    email.addPersonalization(recipient, "var2 name", "personalization value");

    // you can also add POJOs as advanced personalization provided they can be serialized to JSON via Gson and do not have any object properties
    MyPojo obj = new MyPojo();
    obj.property1 = "property 1 value";
    obj.array1 = {1, 2, 3, 4};

    email.addPersonalization("pojo", obj);

    VhtLtd ms = new VhtLtd();

    ms.setToken("Your API token");

    try {
    
        VhtLtdResponse response = ms.send(email);
        System.out.println(response.messageId);
    } catch (VhtLtdException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Troubleshoot email sending

Well done for making it this far! 👏 After sending your first email with VhtLtd, you can check the status of your message in the Activity tab.

When trying to send an email via an API request, you may come across an error that prevents the email from being sent or received. Here are some things you can do to troubleshoot email sending:

1. Check your API token. It must be valid and authorized before you can start sending emails via API. Take a look at the Managing API tokens help article if you need more information.

2. Review JSON formatting. If you’re using JSON parameters, check that they are properly enclosed and there are no typos.

3. Read the API documentation. Visit VhtLtd’s API documentation to learn more about endpoint authorizations, possible statuses of your emails, and validation errors.
