I created a custom panel plugin (TypeScript + React) that get data from ElasticSearch to monitor our systems. The plugin with custom logic (based on data) shows the state of the systems. Now I would like to send an email to a SMS gateway (or even to voice gateway). That just means send an email to a specific email address with phone numbers in the subject and a body with a specific format.
As far as I know Grafana can send an email via alerts that are linked with some graph panel and some threshold. I don't have any of that.
Is there a way to send (trigger via code) an email when my panel logic detects an error/warning? Do I have to write the sending logic (in the panel) myself with some nodeJS lib (without grafana) or is there some other way?
From Grafana forum:
AFAIK there’s no official plugin support for sending emails, so I’m
afraid you’d need to implement it yourself.
So I plan to user nodeJS library nodemailer to send en email from the panel plugin.

I have developed a dashboard in Power BI that I would like to embed in an email body - Outlook, Gmail etc. Is this possible please and has anyone been successful at doing this?
No, embedding requires a lot of javascript code and a modern browser to work. Currently it is not possible to get this working in an e-mail body, because it will violate event basic security policies. Embed it in a web application hosted somewhere (or if the recipients has access to it, you can leave it in Power BI Service) and send and link to it (you can add an image if you want) in the e-mail.
I am trying to figure out how can I make it possible to send an email from my
application to Sendgrid and have it come back.
I want to use coldfusion to send an email using X-SMTP API. I found a documentation
online here but still wondering if there's any documentation available other
than the web API one?

SendGrid's Event Webhook is the only way to get email reads on an individual basis. This will POST an event to your server every time an email is read (among several other events).
The only "pull" based solution to get individual email events from SendGrid is the bounces endpoint, which will tell you when an email bounces (and is certainly not read), but nothing else.
If you want to retrieve individual read events from SendGrid, you'll need to connect the Event Webhook to an external service like Keen.io, and then leveraging their API to get individual events.
I want to collect information about how many emails that I have sent, has been read. I want to use method where I will put image in email and once the image gets rendered I can catch that event. I know this is not hundred percent reliable.
I am using a SendGrid for sending my emails. I was wondering does SendGrid provides service like this?
I was looking through SendGrid documentation but was not able to find what I need.
You want to use the Open Tracking app. You can also enable, disable, and configure this app via the web API or SMTP API headers.
I am so confused. My simple requirement is: i have an application which contains confirmation form i.e. nib file. It contains some textFields like name, age, email etc. I simply want when somebody click on submit button application send background and automatic email to email defined in textField. that email contain all information like name, age etc. User need not to fil anything and it should work in background. There are so many application do the same thing. I am creating booking application.
So how can i impliment this behaviour.
Apple does not provide a way to do this - and for good reason. Sending emails from the phone automatically introduces a lot of security risks.
I am willing to bet that the apps that do this use an intermediary server to which they post the data. When the data is posted then the server handles the sending of the emails.
To do this:
Send an HTTPS POST request to your server application.
From your server application, send an email via SMTP (or APIs built on top of SMTP).
Google AppEngine provides a simple and cheap way to create such a web service, running on top of Google's cloud-computing infrastructure. The sending mail from AppEngine help document includes detailed examples of how to send mail from your server application (assuming you use the Python version of Google AppEngine).
Unfortunately, there is no official feature for this but you could download a third-party library. Refer here for a couple of suggestions.
i want to this:
When a new user want ta register to my site, he/she must enter GSM number on registration form
and activation code sent with a SMS message and e-mail.
he/she must enter SMS activation code and e-mail activation code for complete joomla new user register process.
Is this possible? Can i do that?
yes, But you have to think a lot about integration your implementation with Joomla.
You have 2 approaches to send SMS messages.
1. Using a GSM modem
Here you will need dedicated hardware to do this. You will need a GSM modem + A dedicated server/machine. You have to write to the serial port using appropriate language and use AT commands to send sms messages. Here the advantage is everything is yours so you have total control over everything. You will be able to find a cheap mobile service provider for this.
2. Using an SMS Gateway
Based on your requirement of integrating this with Joomla, this might be the easy approach. In this way you have to send http, https request to a certain URL with the message information and authentication details. The gateway will handle the rest. Alternatively you can choose SMTP as gateway protocol and reuse your email implementation. When you send an email to a certain preconfigured address it will generate an SMS with contents of the email message.
Clickatell is an example for such service providers.
