I am trying to have incoming email using malign and ruby on rails to take params and parse the correct data out of it to create a bookmark. Mailgun is processing the incoming emails successfully, but rails is not creating the bookmark. Could you please help me find the bug?
I added a POST in routes.rb
post :incoming, to: 'incoming#create'
Rails.application.routes.draw do
post :incoming, to: 'incoming#create'
resources :topics do
resources :bookmarks, except: [:index]
end
devise_for :users
get 'about' => 'welcome#about'
root 'welcome#index'
end
I created the incoming_controller.rb with a create method.
class IncomingController < ApplicationController
skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token, only: [:create]
def create
user = User.find(params[:sender])
topic = Topic.find(params[:subject])
url = params["body-plain"]
if @user.nil?
@user = User.new(email: user, password: "password")
@user.save!
end
if @topic.nil?
@topic = Topic.new(title: topic)
@topic.save!
end
@bookmark = @topic.bookmarks.build(user: user, url: url)
@bookmark.save!
head 200
end
end
I send a sample email with this info:
to: postmaster@appd5fb3842ce6a4e52a5acb511e854e06b.mailgun.org
subject: Ruby on Rails
body: www.amazon.com
Mailgun processes the incoming email successfully. The app is deployed in heroku and then I check the logs after sending the sample email:

After hours of struggling with this bug the answer for this question is quite easy.
Add to incominig_controller.rb :
skip_before_action :authenticate_user!, only: [:create]
The error was coming up as the user sent the email and the app expected that user to be logged in (obviously shouldn't be like that).
