gif-email-bot 🤖

This is a fun app written in TypeScript that sends a random gif to a given email address! I have deployed this on Netlify and the first email I get every morning is a fun gif!

I am currently using Mailjet API to send emails, however this can be further extended in the future to serve as a Twitter/Telegram bot as well, and not just limited to emails.

For GIFs I am using the GIPHY API.

More details on the respective APIs and how to get the keys -

• Mailjet - https://dev.mailjet.com/email/guides/getting-started/

Possible future improvements

• Use a database for emails - Currently it's just my email, however, if I want to spam my friends as well, emails.json file might not be the safest.
• Add API to add/remove emails.
