Emails not sending (SMTP)
Hey,
I'm trialing out the self-hosted option via Docker, and running into some issues getting SMTP to work. I'm attempting to use Office365 (smtp.office365.com) using all of the environment variables listed on https://docs.chiefonboarding.com/integrations/email/
While using the feature to manually send the preboarding emails (People > New Hires > Settings Cog > Send pre-boarding email), it shows that the 'New hire has been notified.' though nothing comes through.
I have tried a few different options but cannot seem to find anything that works.
Are there any additional log files or settings that may assist?
Thank you
Hi, it should show an error message in the logs when it fails, unless the SMTP provider didn't return an error.
I know SMTP works, as one of my instances is using it. One caveat that might be an issue. In the docs there is written this:
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
EMAIL_USE_SSL=True
You actually only need one of them. Could you try both (one at a time - remove the other one)?
I know this is old, but I was having a similar issue. The port I was given from my email provider was wrong and I defaulted to the one present in the ChiefOnboarding docs.
