## EmailSender
An EmailSender is responsible for sending the email, e.g. via an SMTP connection
or using some other mail-sending API. By default, the EmailPlugin uses the
[NodemailerEmailSender](/current/core/reference/core-plugins/email-plugin/email-sender#nodemaileremailsender), but it is also possible to supply a custom implementation:
*Example*
```ts
const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail');
sgMail.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
class SendgridEmailSender implements EmailSender {
async send(email: EmailDetails) {
await sgMail.send({
to: email.recipient,
from: email.from,
subject: email.subject,
html: email.body,
});
}
}
const config: VendureConfig = {
logger: new DefaultLogger({ level: LogLevel.Debug })
// ...
plugins: [
EmailPlugin.init({
// ... template, handler config omitted
transport: { type: 'none' },
emailSender: new SendgridEmailSender(),
}),
],
};
```
```ts title="Signature"
interface EmailSender extends InjectableStrategy {
send: (email: EmailDetails, options: EmailTransportOptions) => void | Promise;
}
```
* Extends: [`InjectableStrategy`](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/common/injectable-strategy#injectablestrategy)
## NodemailerEmailSender
Uses the configured transport to send the generated email.
```ts title="Signature"
class NodemailerEmailSender implements EmailSender {
send(email: EmailDetails, options: EmailTransportOptions) => ;
}
```
