Send email with Warp

Use Parcel Wing from Warp filters and async handlers.

Install the SDK

The official Rust SDK is published as parcelwing.

Terminal

cargo add parcelwing
cargo add tokio --features macros,rt-multi-thread

Warp filter

Create the Parcel Wing client during server startup, then call it from trusted async handlers.

src/main.rs

use parcelwing::{Client, EmailSendRequest};
use serde::Deserialize;
use std::convert::Infallible;
use warp::Filter;
 
#[derive(Clone, Deserialize)]
struct WelcomeRequest {
email: String,
first_name: Option<String>,
}
 
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), parcelwing::Error> {
let client = Client::new(std::env::var("PARCELWING_API_KEY").unwrap())?;
let client_filter = warp::any().map(move || client.clone());
 
let send_welcome = warp::path("send-welcome")
.and(warp::post())
.and(client_filter)
.and(warp::body::json())
.and_then(send_welcome);
 
warp::serve(send_welcome).run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 8080)).await;
Ok(())
}
 
async fn send_welcome(client: Client, payload: WelcomeRequest) -> Result<impl warp::Reply, Infallible> {
let response = match client
.emails()
.send(
EmailSendRequest::new(std::env::var("PARCELWING_FROM_EMAIL").unwrap(), payload.email)
.template_alias("welcome")
.template_param("first_name", payload.first_name.unwrap_or_else(|| "friend".to_string())),
)
.await
{
Ok(emails) => serde_json::json!({ "id": emails[0].id }),
Err(error) => serde_json::json!({ "error": error.to_string() }),
};
 
Ok(warp::reply::json(&response))
}

Production notes

  • Keep PARCELWING_API_KEY in server-side environment variables.
  • Build one SDK client during server startup and reuse it from trusted handlers.
  • Log parcelwing::Error::Api details for support and debugging.
