To create a Courier Ruby client, all you need to do is pass in your authentication information. Then, you can start sending!

Using token authentication (most secure)

client = Courier::Client.new "your-auth-token" # or set via COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var

Sending a message to an individual recipient

client = Courier::Client.new "your-auth-token" # or set via COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var
res = client.send(message: {
      "to" => {
        "email" => "[email protected]"
      }
      "content" => {
        "title" => "hello {{name}}",
        "body" => "Welcome to Courier!"
      },
      "data" => {
        "name" => "Ruby"
      }
  })
  puts res.request_id # if the code is 202, this will be the Courier request ID for this message

client = Courier::Client.new "your-auth-token" # or set via COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var
res = client.send(message: {
    "event" => "your-event-id",
    "recipient" => "your-recipient-id",

    "profile" => { #optional (include any key-value pairs required by your chosen integrations. This information can also be stored in the recipient's profile in Courier)
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "phone_number": "555-867-5309"
    },

    "data" => { #any data you want to pass to a message template
      "world" => "Ruby!"
    }
  })
  puts res.message_id # if the code is 200, this will be the Courier message ID for this notification

Sending a message to an individual with metadata

client = Courier::Client.new "your-auth-token" # or set via COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var
res = client.send(message: {
      "to" => {
        "email" => "[email protected]"
      }
      "content" => {
        "title" => "hello {{name}}",
        "body" => "Welcome to Courier!"
      },
      "data" => {
        "name" => "Ruby"
      },
      "metadata" => {
        "utm" => {
          "source" => "Ruby"
        },
        "tags" => ["tag-1", "tag-2"],
        "trace_id" => "feed-me-hungry"
      }
  })
  puts res.request_id # if the code is 202, this will be the Courier request ID for this message

Sending a message to an individual with granular metadata

client = Courier::Client.new "your-auth-token" # or set via COURIER_AUTH_TOKEN env var
res = client.send(message: {
      "to" => {
        "email" => "[email protected]"
