I’m making a CRM-like system, and I would like to enable users the  
ability to define and send out custom emails based on a template.

I used the method outlined here:

class Postoffice \< ActionMailer::Base  
def welcome(name, email)  
@recipients = “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”  
@from = params[:contact][:email]  
headers “Reply-to” =\> “#{email}”  
@subject = “Welcome to Add Three”  
@sent\_on = Time.now  
@content\_type = “text/html”

```
body[:name] = name
body[:email] = email

```

end  
end

where you define a new def for each email template you wish to send out  
and then send the mail using

Postoffice.deliver\_welcome(@user.name, @user.email)

The problem is it requires the template, in this case  
welcome.text.html.erb, to be defined within the actual controller code  
(because to deliver you need to use Postoffice.deliver\_).

I’d like for the CRM user to be able to define a template to use, I was  
planning on using an activerecord to store the actual file where as  
Emailtemplate.file could specify which actionmailer view to use, however  
I’m having trouble getting the mailer\_name() function to work.  
mailer\_name() is suppose to be able to specify which template to use and  
override the default. However I’m not able to find a specific example of  
how it should be used. Could anyone provide one?

Another option I thought of was storing the template in the Database and  
passing the body as an argument to deliver\_welcome, but I’d like to be  
able to use the template system of .erb. I’d really appreciate any  
suggestions fellow members could provide
