With the changes to the email setup in the latest version, the instructions for setting up email need to be changed in the information pane when adding an email process to an input.
It would also be useful if a more detailed set of instructions with examples was available in the main documentation.
Bump…
@TrystanLea will you be able to provide some worked examples of how to set up the email process?
And I’m assuming that the pop up window when you select email will be edited to reflect the current setup?
Hello @Bramco the new email setup was meant to be a drop in replacement, apart from moving the email settings from default-settings.ini to settings.ini were there any other changes that you noticed?
I’ve got an improvement to the description to specifically reference settings.ini in the latest master branch.
I thought that you had changed things, so that you no longer needed to set up Swiftmailer, or did that change happen some time ago? Although, I can’t find any instructions about the Swiftmailer setup except for in forum posts.
Re the Send Email popup, It would be good to be a bit more specific about where the email is sent to and how to set up an alternative address in settings.ini. So to my mind, the default is to send it to the user’s email address as set in the User profile. Alternatively if an email address is setup in the [email] section of settings.ini, then the email will be sent there. This can be set up by copying the [email] section of the default-settings.ini file into settings.ini.
When I look at the [email] section, it looks as though there are 2 ways to set this up? Could you add some description at the start to explain this, and also show examples through commented out lines, for example to gmail or outlook. This would make it a lot easier for users to set things up correctly rather than having to try things out to see what works.
