Create a candymail.automation.json file on the root level of your project.

Here's a sample:

{
  "automations": [
    {
      "name": "automation1",
      "description": "tell users about pro features",
      "trigger_name": "proplan",
      "emails": [
        {
          "trigger": "time",
          "sendDelay": 1,
          "subject": "Have you tried Feature A?",
          "body": "Feature A will let you do ABC things. Check it out!",
          "from": "[email protected]"
        },
        {
          "trigger": "time",
          "sendDelay": 3,
          "subject": "Try our feature B!",
          "body": "We released feature B just last week and can't wait for you to try it out :)",
          "from": "[email protected]"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

const path = require('path')
const candymail = require('candymail')

const automationPath = path.resolve('candymail.automation.json')

candymail.init(automationPath, {
  senderEmail: **GMAILEMAIL**,
  senderPassword: **GMAILPASSWORD**
})

candymail.start()

const user = '[email protected]'
candymail.runAutomation('automation1', user)

console.log('Emails added to queue', candymail.getAllScheduledMessages())
