There is a problem with my password recovery and I'm not sure what it is. I followed the instructions to the letter in the documentation and no email is being sent from sendGrid. When I go to the sendGrid account it shows there was no requests for an email to be sent.
When I test the 'sendEmail' service it says test successful, but when I try to create response parameters from the test response it shows an error.
Here is my server script:
sendEmail:
var responseBody = {},
requestParams = {},
paramKeys = request.keys();
for (var key = 0; key < paramKeys.length; key++) {
requestParams[paramKeys[key]] = request.get(paramKeys[key]);
}
// Declare database ID and Master key
var dbId = "53bdbe9be4b04e2d7216e2c9";
var masterKey = "fca1c6aa-e77a-41a3-9910-b74ee46f50ed";
// Get username from request parameters
var username = requestParams['username'];
// Generate a random secret code
var secretCode = Math.random().toString(36).slice(-12);
console.log(secretCode);
try {
// Get the user with a given username from the database
var XHRResponse = XHR.send("GET", "https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/users/", {
"headers": {
"X-Appery-Database-Id": dbId,
"X-Appery-Master-Key": masterKey
},
"parameters": {
"where": '{"username": "' + encodeURIComponent(username) + '"}'
}
});
// If the user exists update user's secret code with the generated value
if (XHRResponse.body.length) {
var userId = XHRResponse.body[0]["_id"];
var email = XHRResponse.body[0]["email"];
Code: Select all
var XHRResponse = XHR.send("PUT", "[url=https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/users/]https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/users/[/url]" + userId, {

"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"body": {
"secret_code": secretCode
}
});
// If secret code was successfully updated, send email with the code to user with Sendgrid API
if (XHRResponse.status == 200 && email) {
var XHRResponse = XHR.send("POST", "[url=https://api.sendgrid.com/api/mail.send.json]https://api.sendgrid.com/api/mail.sen...[/url]", {

} else {

response.success(responseBody, "application/json");

I've attached several screenshots for your review. Thanks!
