Support for customizing email body

[sajingeo]

We have been using send grid for the parse server email notification and password resets. We would like to have the option to specify the email header/subject/body like how the mandrill adapter works. This would really help us stick to sendgrid and not migrate to other 3rd party solutions.

We also have the same request. Any ways we can specify the email header/subject and body for the parse server email notification/password resets?

Would you like to use my adapter for email template?

This above adapter works for verification but fails for reset.

@pushparajsamant Password reset requests go through UserController.js on parse-server. In the sendPasswordResetEmail function, you can see that the existence of a sendPasswordResetEmail function is checked for on the adapter, otherwise it uses the default sendMail function which parse-server-sendgrid-adapter already implements. If you add an implementation of sendPasswordResetEmail to the index.js file in this repo, you can customize the password reset emails.

Here's an example implementation, where options is of the default form {link,user,appName}:

var sendPasswordResetEmail = function sendPasswordResetEmail(options) {
    const user = options.user;
    const to = user.get("email") || user.get('username');
    const link = options.link;
    const appName = options.appName;

    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
      sendgrid.send({
        from: mailOptions.fromAddress,
        to: to,
        subject: appName + " Custom Password Reset Implementation",
        text: "This is my custom password reset email text. Click here: " + link
      }, function(err, json) {
        if (err) {
          reject(err);
        }
        resolve(json);
      });
    });
};

Don't forget to also add your newly created variable to the return statement at the end of the index.js file:

return Object.freeze({
    sendMail: sendMail,
    sendPasswordResetEmail: sendPasswordResetEmail
});
