Setting up SMTP

The authoring tool comes with a module called Mailer for sending emails (read more about Mailer here), but before you can use it, you need to configure an SMTP server. A quick hint: It is also possible to use a custom SMTP-Server via a smtpConnectionUrl: smtps://user%40gmail.com:[email protected]/?pool=true

Don't worry, Mailer uses the popular Nodemailer module to take care of the mail transport nitty-gritty; all you need to do is to configure it. A bunch of popular services are supported out-of-the-box, so the chances are all you need to do is add your details to the conf/config.json file. Refer here for more information: https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/issues/1447

See the following section in the Configuring the Authoring Tool page which attributes are needed for SMTP.

For instruction on configuring other services, see the Nodemailer documentation.
