Code Gist: [Ruby] Send Template-based Email PostageApp.com

Code Gist: [Ruby] Send Template-based Email PostageApp.com:

This is my very quick Ruby implementation for PostageApp’s RESTful API. It’s very simple but currently they only publish a Rails plugin. This method I wrote works great with any standalone Ruby app.

Note, if the method returns true, it doesn’t necessarily mean the mail was sent successfully. It will only return false to the API call if you sent the request to a bad URL, your API key is invalid, or something like that.

I hope to add more features to this as they do so, but for now the API is barebones and so is this code.

Contact me or the Tropo support team if you have any questions about Tropo or

Hello World!

This is an obligatory initial blog post on my new blog. Like the description up top says, I will be writing about unified communications (that’s voice, instant messaging, and cellular text message), open government (I do live in D.C.), and community involvement (as it relates to technology, and just giving back in general).

Thanks for visiting. If you want to chat about any of these topics or even something else, it’s really easy to reach me.
