Sending emails from MongoDB Atlas using an Office365 SMTP service can be achieved. You can create a database trigger in MongoDB Atlas that responds to specific events (e.g., when a new order is placed). In the trigger function, you can invoke an external service (such as Node.js) to send an email via SMTP.
const nodemailer = require(‘nodemailer’);
// Create a transporter using Office365 SMTP settings
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: ‘smtp.office365.com’,
port: 587,
secure: false,
auth: {
user: ‘your_office365_email@example.com’,
pass: ‘your_office365_password’,
},
});
// Define the email content
const mailOptions = {
from: ‘your_office365_email@example.com’,
to: ‘recipient@example.com’,
subject: ‘Hello from MongoDB Atlas’,
text: ‘This is a test email sent from MongoDB Atlas.’,
};
// Send the email
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
console.error(‘Error sending email:’, error);
} else {
console.log(‘Email sent:’, info.response);
}
});
