# Your First Email

Let's say you want to send a notification to the website team when someone submits a new position to your movie catalog website!

You can do it in few simple steps:

## Configure Your E-Mail


In your ``config/packages/sylius_mailer.yaml``, under ``sylius_mailer`` you should configure the email:

```yaml
# config/packages/sylius_mailer.yaml

sylius_mailer:
    sender:
        name: Movie Database Example
        address: no-reply@movie-database-example.com
    emails:
        movie_added_notification:
            subject: A new movie {{ movie.title }} has been submitted
            template: "Email/movieAddedNotification.html.twig"
```
That's it! Your unique code is "movie_added_notification". Now, let's create the template.

## Creating Your Template

In your ``templates/Email/movieAddedNotification.html.twig`` put the following Twig code:

```twig
{% block subject %}
    A new movie {{ movie.title }} has been submitted
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
    Hello Movie Database Example!

    A new movie has been submitted for review to your database.

    Title: {{ movie.title }}
    Added by {{ user.name }}

    Please review it and accept or reject!
{% endblock %}
```
That should be enough!

## Sending The E-Mail

The service responsible for sending an e-mail has id ``sylius.email_sender``. All you need to do is retrieve it from the container or inject to a listener:

```php
namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

class MovieController
{
    public function submitAction(Request $request)
    {
        // Your code.

        $this->get('sylius.email_sender')->send('movie_added_notification', ['team@website.com'], ['movie' => $movie, 'user' => $this->getUser()]);
    }
}
```
Listener example:

```php
namespace App\Controller;

use App\Event\MovieCreatedEvent;
use Sylius\Component\Mailer\Sender\SenderInterface;

class MovieNotificationListener
{
    private $sender;

    public function __construct(SenderInterface $sender)
    {
        $this->sender = $sender;
    }

    public function onMovieCreation(MovieCreatedEvent $event)
    {
        $movie = $event->getMovie();
        $user = $event->getUser();

        $this->sender->send('movie_added_notification', ['team@website.com'], ['movie' => $movie, 'user' => $user]);
    }
}
```

We recommend using events approach, but you can send e-mails from anywhere in your application. Enjoy!
