Rails:Send mail using mailer when controller finishes its execution

I am using a button for report abuse, clicking on which ajax call goes to controller and after inserting post as abused in database it is returning success. On successful response it is displaying on UI topic as abused. Now i want to send mails to admin about this. I have integrated mailer in controller, i.e. on success mailer code executes and mails are send to admin.

Now problem is that sending mails take too much time, so my ajax response time also increases. What I want is that mailer code should execute after controller sends its response, so that response time should decrease.

Thanks

Solution

  • We use resque mailer - https://github.com/zapnap/resque_mailer/

    It's pretty easy to set up.
