It provides a simple API for sending emails through configurable transports (SMTP, Resend, log) with EJS-based templates and a shared layout system. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Configuring `sails-hook-mail` in `config/mail.js` (transports, from address, mailers) - Writing EJS email templates in `views/emails/` - Using the shared email layout (`views/layouts/layout-email.ejs`) - Sending emails via `sails.helpers.mail.send.with()` - Setting up SMTP providers (Mailgun, SendGrid, AWS SES) or Resend - Implementing transactional email patterns (verification, password reset, magic links, 2FA codes) - Switching between log transport (development) and real transports (production) ## Rules Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples: - [rules/getting-started.md](rules/getting-started.md) - Sails Mail overview, config/mail.js, transports, from address - [rules/sending-emails.md](rules/sending-emails.md) - sails.helpers.mail.send API, parameters, error handling, async patterns - [rules/templates.md](rules/templates.md) - EJS email templates, layout-email.ejs, template variables, examples - [rules/providers.md](rules/providers.md) - SMTP config, Resend config, environment variables, per-environment setup - [rules/transactional-patterns.md](rules/transactional-patterns.md) - Common patterns: verification, password reset, magic link, 2FA, invitations --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/sailscastshq) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
