Question on Active Mailer

Rails
1

Hi
I want to create send emails to users as soon as a product is created;

So I created scaffold for Product and before as soon as I do the save I
call my send_email method in another controller; Now I want to pass on
the Product record we created. I tried sending the product as @product,
:product,etc. (tried all) and none work; my idea is to get the product
record and put it in the email template like:-

“Dear Customer. <%= product.name %> has arrived at our warehouse and
ready for pick up…”

thanks

In your send_mail method in whatever your mailer model is, you need to
change the definition of

send_mail(sent_at = Time.now)

to

send_mail(product, sent_at = Time.now)

and then in the body of that method,

@body = {:product => product}

That will get you @product in the .rhtml file for send_mail.
