SMTP server

Fabricate sends email messages when users are invited to an account or need to reset their password.

Setting up Amazon SES

To use Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to send email messages:

1. Under Identity Management > Domains, add the domain where Fabricate will be hosted. You later set this as the value of FABRICATE_DOMAIN.
2. Under Identity Management > Emails, add a no-reply@(your domain) email address.
3. Under Email Sending > SMTP Settings, create your SMTP credentials.

Configuring the email service

In .env, configure the following:

FABRICATE_MAIL_ADDRESS=  # Email host. Typically similar to "email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
FABRICATE_MAIL_PORT=587

FABRICATE_MAIL_USER_NAME=  # Email username. Typically similar to "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
FABRICATE_MAIL_PASSWORD=  # Email password. Typically similar to "wJarXUtnFMI/K7MDNG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
FABRICATE_MAIL_FROM=no-reply@(your domain)
