deliver_later

rails latest stable - Class: ActionMailer::MessageDelivery
deliver_later(options = {})
public

Enqueues the email to be delivered through Active Job. When the job runs it will send the email using deliver_now.

Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_later
Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_later(wait: 1.hour)
Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_later(wait_until: 10.hours.from_now)
Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_later(priority: 10)

Options:

  • :wait - Enqueue the email to be delivered with a delay.

  • :wait_until - Enqueue the email to be delivered at (after) a specific date / time.

  • :queue - Enqueue the email on the specified queue.

  • :priority - Enqueues the email with the specified priority

By default, the email will be enqueued using ActionMailer::MailDeliveryJob on the default queue. Mailer classes can customize the queue name used for the default job by assigning a deliver_later_queue_name class variable, or provide a custom job by assigning a delivery_job. When a custom job is used, it controls the queue name.

class AccountRegistrationMailer < ApplicationMailer
  self.delivery_job = RegistrationDeliveryJob
