Introduction
Today, we are going to learn something related to JavaScript. There were many requirements, like where you just had to send a mail using JavaScript, and you couldn't use any REST API or any other platform to create your platform or server-side application to send a mail.
So, to resolve that, we can use ElasticEmail to set up our own SMTP Hosting and send mail using the same. So, let's begin with creating our ElasticEmail account and setting up the host, and sending mail using it,
We have to follow the steps to set up the ElasticeEmail Account.

Once we are done setting up our SMTP, we can move forward to write our business logic for JavaScript code to send Mail using our created SMTP.
You can use the following code to reference sending mail using JavaScript.
Demo.JS
function sendEmail() {
Email.send({
Host: "smtp.elasticemail.com",
Username : "<YOUR SMTP USERNAME>",
Password : "<YOUR SMTP PASSWORD>",
To : '<EMAIL TO SEND A MAIL>',
From : '<EMAIL FROM WHICH YOU HAVE LOGGED IN TO ELASTICEMAIL>', // put a real email address that is verified
Port:'2525',
Subject : "Hello",
Body : "Hello",
}).then(
message => {
alert("mail sent successfully");
console.log(message);
}
);
}
Demo.HTML
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://smtpjs.com/v3/smtp.js"></script>
<script src="Demo.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post">
<input type="button" value="Send Email" onclick="sendEmail()"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
We must load the SMTP js to send a mail using the SMTP we have created. I am using the button click event to send a mail, but you can directly send a mail when you load JavaScript.
After executing and clicking the Send Email Button, I get the following mail inside my Gmail account.

I hope this blog will help you send emails using the Elastic email SMTP Relay.
Thank you.
