Sending an email with attachments

Sending a transactional email with attachments requires a single API call with the following parameters: to, subject, body, and optionally attachments.
  • to: A single email address or an array of email addresses.
  • subject: The subject of the email.
  • body: The body of the email. This can be plain text or HTML.
  • attachments: An array of up to 5 attachment objects. Each object must contain:
    • filename: The name of the file as it will appear in the email.
    • content: The file content, base64 encoded.
    • contentType: The MIME type of the file (e.g., application/pdf, image/png).

await fetch('https://api.useplunk.com/v1/send', {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        "to": "hello@useplunk.com",
        "subject": "Hello with attachment!",
        "body": "Please find the attached file.",
        "attachments": [
            {
                "filename": "document.pdf",
                "content": "<BASE64_ENCODED_CONTENT>",
                "contentType": "application/pdf"
            }
        ]
    })
});
