SMTP Configuration

Authorizer can be configured to send emails as part of the authentication flow. For example, to verify a user's email address, to send a user a magic link for password less login, or to allow a user to reset their password.

Authorizer should work with any SMTP (opens in a new tab) compliant email server. Please refer to the environment variables documentation for the environment variables required to configure SMTP host, port and authentication.

Using Sendgrid

Sendgrid (opens in a new tab) is configured using an API Key, rather than traditional username/password login. To use Sendgrid you must:

  1. Create a Sendgrid account and login
  2. Create an API Key for your application under Settings > API Keys within the Sendgrid console
  3. Ensure that you are using a verified sender email under Settings > Sender Authentication within the Sendgrid console. Sendgrid will reject email sent From: unverified email addresses.
  4. Set the relevant Authenticator environment variables. You can set them from authorizer dashboard
SMTP_HOST: smtp.sendgrid.net
SMTP_PASSWORD: <Sendgrid API Key>
SMTP_PORT: 587
SMTP_USERNAME: apikey
SENDER_EMAIL: <Sendgrid verified email>

Note: the SMTP_USERNAME environment variable must be set to the literal string apikey not your API key value.
