Rails Model Variables in Mailer

I'm not one hundred percent sure I can explain what I'm hoping to do, but here's an attempt:

I've got several models that I need to build mailers for. Here's one:

 class SendLink < ApplicationMailer
  default :from => '[email protected]'


def email(order)
    @order = order
     mail(
  :subject => 'Critical Documentation Needed' ,
  :to  => @order.recipient ,
  :track_opens => 'true'
)
  end
 end

In addition to the order model shown above, I've got several other models that I need mailers for, all with pretty much exactly the same content. So, ideally, I would like to reuse the mailer and template over and over for each model and have the model be a variable.

Is it possible to make the model a variable in the mailer, and if so, what sort of syntax would one use?

Based on what you are explaining, you can just reuse the same mailer for all similar models.

class SendLink < ApplicationMailer
  default :from => '[email protected]'

  def email( object )
    @object = object
    mail(
      :subject => 'Critical Documentation Needed' ,
      :to  => @object.recipient ,
      :track_opens => 'true'
    )
  end
end
