How to send the HTML email using Velocity template in AEM/Adobe CQ5

How to send the HTML email using Velocity template in Adobe CQ5

This post will explain the steps required to send HTML email in Adobe CQ5 using Velocity template.

Configure mail service:

Go to the Felix Console - http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr
Search for Day CQ Mail Service
Enter the email server details as shown below and Save the data (Here I am using Gmail server details).


Email Template:

Create the email template as html file and store it in repository - /etc/email/template/emailTemplate.html (change the path accordingly)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <body>
       Hi ${firstName} ${lastName}</br>
       This is the sample mail.
       <ul>
  #foreach( $data in $dataList )
    <li>$data</li>
  #end
       </ul>
    </body>
</html>
