Show HN: Candymail – Email Automation for Node.js

SQLite does have an in-memory option but you don’t want to use that here, otherwise it won’t actually be persistent. It’d get destroyed when the app restarts. You want SQLite to persist to a file.

I think OP meant stop as in “unsubscribe”. Ability to unsubscribe is required by law in a lot of places, I’d definitely want to have that in place.

This kind of use case falls under “transactional email” and there are lots of providers you can use for that. Mailgun, AWS SES, Postmark, Sendgrid, and a ton of others. They’re purpose-built for sending one-off emails like this.

Ahh thank you for the clarification @dceddia.

1. Yep that makes perfect sense. A persisted file keeps the data and the SqLite provides an easy interface to work with.

2. I mistakenly thought it wasn't important. But I've moved it to the top of the backlog, should be available soon.

3. This is gold. Looked into transactional emails and that's exactly what's needed. Moreover, there's projects like nodemailer-mailgun-transport that will make this easier.

Cheers!
