Pepipost-Heroku-addon 📧

Introduction

Developer likes to invest quality time for challenging problems. So we are just about to add some spice to our challenge by making the collaboration of Paas and Saas product. This challenge is all about making a Heroku addon for sending mail using Pepipost.

Heroku as a Platform allows you to make apps offering the flexibility of using multiple add-ons which minimizes the extra efforts of development. Similarly, Pepipost helps to deliver your emails right into the inbox to keep your IP reputation strong. SDKs of 6 out of 8 languages are available with pepipost which Heroku supports for development.

What is my Challenge ?

You need to contribute by making an add-on which will help developers to send email directly through Pepipost on Heroku platform.

• Integrating pre developed SDKs(all languages) within Heroku add-ons.
• Defining usage of each language in add-ons.

Note : Information can be taken from Official Pepipost website
