SMTP provider

To use this provider, you will need SMTP server credentials. Email templates are created using MJML language and can be edited in dashboard. Dynamic parts of the email (for example number of the order) can be added using Handlebars.

Before you start - server credentials

Using provider requires access to SMTP server. Depending on your needs, choose one of our recommendations.

For production environments

For testing

There are dedicated services for testing email delivery. One of them is Mailtrap.

Note

Such services capture emails and display it in their interface for inspection. Original addressee should not receive any message.

To get credentials needed to configuring the app, follow the guide.

If you are developer working on EAM and don't want to use external service, you can use Mailhog which comes pre configured in this repository.

Requirements:

Docker is installed
docker compose command is available

To start the service:

Open EAM app folder in terminal
Use command docker compose up

Mailhog will start SMTP server and web interface. Now you can update provider configuration:
