    Hi guys,

    Sorry, little new to wordpress.
    I can’t seem to find out how to send an email with WP Mail SMTP via Ajax. I’ve heard/read it’s possible – but not entirely sure what endpoint to point at? I’ve built a theme in angular, so would need to access it this way.

    If you could point me in the right direction, that’d be great.

    Cheers,

    D

    create your own endpoint in your theme, and from there pass your parameters to wp_mail. then your theme will work with any SMTP plugin, not just one in particular.

    thanks for the reply.

    Apologies, but not entirely sure of how to create the endpoint in the theme.
    Have you got a quick example?

    Cheers

    I suppose you could add this to your theme’s functions.php, but I’m not a theme dev, so don’t quote me.

    You’ll need your endpoint function:

    function sendMail() {
    $to = $_POST ['to'];
    $subject = $_POST ['subject'];
    $message = $_POST ['message'];
    wp_mail($to, $subject, $message); // send mail
    wp_send_json_success(); // return and die
}

    Then you’ll need to hook it into WordPress:

    if (is_admin ()) {
    add_action ( 'wp_ajax_MyAwesomeMailFunction', 'sendMail' );
    add_action ( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_MyAwesomeMailFunction', 'sendMail' );
}

    .. where MyAwesomeMailFunction is the action you’ll use in your Ajax post.
