DESCRIPTION

   This module allows for easy integration with the SendGrid email
   distribution service and its v3 Web API. All instance methods are
   chainable.

   For the full details of the SendGrid v3 API, see
   https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/api_v3.html

CLASS METHODS

Creation

 new(%args)

   Creates a new Email::SendGrid object. Optional param: 'api_key'

INSTANCE METHODS

Sending / Validating

 send(%args)

   Sends the API request and returns a result hashref with these keys:

     * success - Boolean indicating whether the operation returned a 2XX
     status code

     * status - The HTTP status code of the response

     * reason - The response phrase returned by the server

     * content - The body of the response, including a detailed error
     message, if any.

 validate(%args)

   Temporarily sets the 'sandbox_mode' flag to true, and submits the API
   request to SendGrid. Returns the same hashref format as send(). If the
   'success' key is true, the API request is valid.

Personalizations / Envelopes

 $self->add_envelope(%args);

   Once you've defined the general message parameters (by setting from,
   content, etc) You must add at least one envelope. Each envelope
   represents one personalized copy of a message, and who should receive
   it. Some parameters can only be set at the message level, some only at
   the envelope level, and some at both (the envelop-level settings will
   override the message-level settings).

   You must specify at least the 'to' argument, which is an array of
   recipient emails. This can be a plain array of addresses, or an array
   of hashes with 'email' and 'name' keys.

   The 'cc' and 'bcc' arguments are optional, but follow the same format
   of the 'to' argument.

   In addition to specifying the envelope recipients via to/cc/bcc, you
   can also override the message 'subject', 'send_at', 'headers' hash,
   'substitutions' hash, and 'custom_args' hash. See the message-level
   methods for more details on those parameters.

 $self->clear_envelopes();

   Clears all of the currently defined envelopes from this message.

Messages

 $self->from($email, $name);

   Sets the name/email address of the sender. Email is required, name is
   optional.

 $self->subject($subject);

   Sets the subject of the message. Required, but can be overridden at the
   message personalization level.

 $self->reply_to($email, $name);

   Sets the target that will be used if the recipient wants to reply to
   this message. Email is required, name is optional.

 $self->clear_content();

   Clears out all of the message body parts.

 $self->add_content($type, $value);

   Adds a message body part. Both type and value are required. $type
   should be something like "text/plain" or "text/html".

 $self->clear_attachments();

   Removes all attachments from this message.

 $self->add_attachment($filename, $content, %args);

   Adds a new attachment to this message. $filename specifies the file
   name the recipient will see. $content should be the Base64-encoded data
   of the file. Optional arguments are 'type' (the mime type of the file,
   such as "image/jpeg"), 'disposition' must be "inline" or "attachment",
   and 'content_id' which is used to identify embedded inline attachments.

 $self->template_id($template_id);

   Specifies the template you'd like to use for this message. Templates
   are managed via the SendGrid application website. If the template
   includes a subject or body, those do not need to be specified via this
   api.

 $self->clear_sections();

   Clears all substitution sections defined in this message.

 $self->remove_section($key);

   Removes one substitution section defined in this message.

 $self->set_section($key, $value);

   Sets one new substitution section for this message. Each occurrence of
   $key in each body part will be replaced with $value prior to
   personalization substitutions (if any).

 $self->set_sections(%sections);

   Sets all substitution sections for this message at once. For each
   key/val pair, occurrences of the key in the message body will be
   replaced by the value prior to personalization substitutions (if any).

 $self->clear_headers();

   Clears all custom headers defined for this message.

 $self->set_headers(%headers);

   Sets all custom SMTP headers for this message at once. These must be
   properly encoded if they contain unicode characters. Must not be one of
   the reserved headers.

   These can be overridden at the message personalization level.

 $self->clear_categories();

   Clears out all categories defined for this message.

 $self->set_categories(@categories);

   Sets the list of categories for this message. The list of categories
   must be unique and contain no more than 10 items.

 $self->add_category($name);

   Adds a new category for this message. The list of categories must be
   unique and contain no more than 10 items.

 $self->clear_custom_args();

   Clears out all custom arguments defined for this message.

 $self->set_custom_args(%args);

   Sets all custom arguments defined for this message. These can be
   overridden at the message personalization level. The total size of
   custom arguments cannot exceed 10,000 bytes.

 $self->send_at($timestamp);

   A unix timestamp (seconds since 1970) specifying when to deliver this
   message. Cannot be more than 72 hours in the future.

   This can be overridden at the message personalization level.

 $self->batch_id($batch_id);

   Identifies a batch to include this message in. This batch ID can later
   be used to pause or cancel the delivery of a batch (if a future
   delivery time was set)

 $self->unsubscribe_group($group_id, @display_groups);

   If you've set up multiple unsubscribe groups in the SendGrid web
   application, this method allows you to specify which group this message
   belongs to. If this is set and the user unsubscribes from this message,
   they will only be added to the suppression list for that single group.
   If not set, they will be added to the global unsubscribe list.

   @display_groups is optional. If specified, when the user clicks
   "unsubscribe" they will be shown a list of these groups and allowed to
   choose which ones he/she would like to unsubscribe from.

 $self->ip_pool_name($pool_name);

   The IP Pool that you would like to send this email from.

 $self->click_tracking($enable, %args);

   Whether to enable click-tracking for this message. If enabled, any URLs
   in the body of this message will be rewritten to proxy through SendGrid
   for tracking purposes. This setting will overwrite the account-level
   setting if any. One optional argument is accepted: 'enable_text' which
   controls whether the link-rewriting is also performed for plaintext
   emails (the rewritten URL will be visible to the recipient)

 $self->open_tracking($enable, %args);

   Whether to enable open-tracking for this message. If enabled, a single
   transparent pixel image is added to the HTML body of this message and
   used to determine if and when the recipient opens the message. This
   setting will overwrite the account-level setting if any. One optional
   argument is accepted: 'substitution_tag' which identifies a token in
   the message body that should be replaced with the tracking pixel.

 $self->subscription_tracking($enable, %args);

   Whether to enable a sendgrid-powered unsubscribe link in the footer of
   the email. You may pass optional arguments 'text' and 'html' to control
   the verbiage of the unsubscribe link used, OR 'substitution_tag' which
   is a token that will be replaced with the unsubscribe URL. This setting
   will overwrite the account-level setting if any.

 $self->ganalytics($enable, %args);

   Whether to enable google analytics tracking for this message. Optional
   arguments include 'utm_source', 'utm_medium', 'utm_term',
   'utm_content', and 'utm_campaign'. This setting will overwrite the
   account-level setting if any.

 $self->bcc($enable, %args);

   Whether to BCC a monitoring account when sending this message. Optional
   arguments include 'email' for the address that will receive the BCC if
   one is not configured at the account level. This setting will overwrite
   the account-level setting if any.

 $self->bypass_list_management($enable);

   Whether to bypass the built-in suppression SendGrid provides, such as
   unsubscribed recipients, those that have bounced, or marked the emails
   as spam. This setting will overwrite the account-level setting if any.

 $self->footer($enable, %args);

   Whether to add a footer to the outgoing message. Optional arguments
   include 'html' and 'text' to specify the footers that will be used for
   each message body type. This setting will overwrite the account-level
   setting if any.

 $self->sandbox_mode($enable);

   Whether to enable sandbox mode. When enabled, SendGrid will validate
   the contents of this API request for correctness, but will not actually
   send the message.

 $self->spam_check($enable, %args);

   Whether to perform a spam check on this message prior to sending. If
   the message fails the spam check, it will be dropped and not sent.
   Optional parameters include 'threshold' - an integer score value from
   1-10 (default 5) over which a message will be classified as spam, and
   'post_to_url' - a SendGrid inbound message parsing URL that will be
   used to post back notifications of messages identified as spam and
   dropped. These settings will overwrite the account-level settings if
   any.
