Reflex Build and Mailtrap Integration

Send Emails with Reflex Build and Mailtrap

Step-by-step guide on how to integrate Mailtrap with your Reflex Build application.

Mailtrap is an email-sending solution for developer and product teams. Focused on fast delivery and high inboxing rates for transactional and promo emails. Provides highly customizable API and 24/7 tech support.

Prerequisites: 

• A Reflex Build account and a project.
• A Mailtrap account for sending emails.

Step 1. Create a landing page/contact form 

Log in to your Reflex Build account and use a prompt like the following one to create a simple project with basic fields:

Step 2. Add your Mailtrap credentials

After a minute or two, Reflex Build will generate your project. Once it’s done, you need to insert your Mailtrap credentials.

To do this, open Settings in the sidebar, navigate to Secrets, and click on the Add new variable button.

This way, you need to add the following two variables:

• MAILTRAP_API_TOKEN 

This is the Mailtrap API token, which you can create at any time in your account dashboard. And here’s what the variable should look like:

• MAILTRAP_FROM_EMAIL 

This is the email address with the verified Mailtrap sending domain you’ve added after creating an account. And here’s the variable:

Once you’re done adding the variables, simply tell the Reflex Build AI that you’re done with a prompt like this one, for example:

The AI will then go over Mailtrap Email API documentation, connect it to your project, and confirm once it’s done.

Important: If you haven’t already, make sure to let AI know you want the messages to be sent to the address inputted in the email field. For this, you can use a prompt such as this one:

Step 3. Start sending emails

Finally, to test your configuration, fill out the form and hit the Send button. If you followed everything thus far, you should receive the email in your inbox in a few seconds. Here it is in a Gmail inbox:

And here it is in the Email Logs tab in the Mailtrap dashboard.
