How to send an email with Day CQ Mail Service?

Question

I created a component with a form. My intention is to be able to send the results of the data entered to the email, which is always written using a form. I'm trying with a servlet but it doesn't seem to detect it either

Hi @vodjakxa try below approaches:servlet: @Component(service = Servlet.class,        property = {                "sling.servlet.resourceTypes=project/components/content/contact-us",                "sling.servlet.methods=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_POST,                "sling.servlet.extensions=json"        })public class ContactusServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet {    @Reference    private CustomEmailService customEmailService;    @Override    protected void doPost(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {        String name = request.getParameter("name");        String email = request.getParameter("email");        String message = request.getParameter("message");        String resourcePath = request.getResource().getPath();        Resource resource = request.getResourceResolver().resolve(resourcePath);        ValueMap vm = ResourceUtil.getValueMap(resource);        String path = vm.get("path").toString();        // Email content        String subject = "New Contact Us Submission";        String body = "Name: " + name + "

To send an email with Day CQ Mail Service in AEM, follow these steps:
1. Configure Mail Service in AEM Go to /system/console/configuration/com.day.cq.mailer.DefaultMailService and set up SMTP settings (host, port, username, and password).
2. Create a Servlet to Send Email Create a servlet to handle form submission and send email:

package com.example.core.servlet;

import com.day.cq.mailer.Message;
import com.day.cq.mailer.MessageFactory;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingAllMethodsServlet;
import org.apache.sling.api.request.RequestParameter;
import javax.servlet.Servlet;

public class EmailServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet {
    
    protected void doPost(SlingSafeMethodsServletRequest request, SlingSafeMethodsServletResponse response) {
        String subject = request.getParameter("subject");
        String body = request.getParameter("body");
        
        Message email = MessageFactory.create();
        email.setSubject(subject);
        email.setBody(body);
        email.setTo("recipient@example.com");
        
        // Send email
        email.send();
    }
}

3. Map the Servlet to a Path Ensure the servlet is mapped to a specific path in your AEM configuration so it can be triggered by a form submission.
