node-red-node-email
Node-RED nodes to send and receive simple emails.
Note : This is the same node as was in the core of Node-RED. As of v0.10.8 it will be installed from here instead.
Pre-requisite
You will need valid email credentials for your email server.
Install
Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-node-email
Usage
Nodes to send and receive simple emails.
Input
Repeatedly gets a single email from an IMAP server and forwards on as a msg if not already seen.
The subject is loaded into msg.topic and msg.payload is the plain text body.
If there is text/html then that is returned in msg.html. msg.from and
msg.date are also set if you need them.
Additionally msg.header contains the complete header object including
to, cc and other potentially useful properties.
Note: this node only gets the most recent single email from the inbox, so set the repeat (polling) time appropriately.
Uses the imap npm module.
Output
Sends the msg.payload as an email, with a subject of msg.topic.
The default message recipient can be configured in the node, if it is left
blank it should be set using the msg.to property of the incoming message.
The payload can be html format.
If the payload is a binary buffer then it will be converted to an attachment.
The filename should be set using msg.filename. Optionally
msg.description can be added for the body text.
Alternatively you may provide msg.attachments which should contain an array of one or
more attachments in nodemailer format.
Uses the nodemailer npm module.
