how to send the invitation email

[VinothGox]

Hi there,

Recently I saw your chaskiq tool really is very nice.

chaskiq app deployed the Nginx server. All setup finished and working is fine in development mood. But invitation mail is not delivered.
all env variable is correct but I am unable to send the invitation mail.

Error message: "Skipped delivery of mail 6202b4d9a6ca8_44d9a9884888b@e2e-88-7.mail as perform_deliveries is false"

after I set the true "perform_deliveries: true" in development.rb file I get another error (Internal Server Error)
the error is "unable to sign request without credentials set"

Please help me, past two days I facing this problem. I can't resolve it.

Regards,
Vinoth

Hi, thanks for the detailed explanation.
If you perform deliveries in development mode, you will need to set up your SMTP credentials.

the following are some environment variables to set up your email service:

SMTP_ADDRESS=
SMTP_PASSWORD=
SMTP_USERNAME=

SMTP_DELIVERY_METHOD=ses

you need to put those env variables in the .env file in the project. Note that in a production environment, the .env file and the methods to add env vars may vary from cloud to cloud.

ses method is relevant for some specific behavior in order to receive messages from emails threads. Of course, if you don't use ses, then you entirely lose that feature, but the other email dispatching will work just fine.

Wow, First of all very thanks for the quick reply. I forget to add SMTP details in the env file.

Note: your env configuration document is not updated. that document does not specify the SMTP details.

sorry, One more question your env variable only working in development mood. am I right? because I try to run the production mood but I am unable to do this.

yeah, SMTP credentials are not really needed, if you use amazon SES the aws credentials will just work.
.env file will not work in production, you will need to set your ENV vars on the cloud provider or your VPS

Thanks for your response.

I think maybe it would be better to support configuring perform_deliveries using environment variables?

[michelson]

the development environment is not suited for perform_deliveries.

the development environment is not suited for perform_deliveries.

How should the official environment be set up?

[michelson]

in the production environment, the perform_deliveres option is activated. Here is an article in regard of environment variables

Thank you very much, I didn't notice these variables when I read the installation documentation before
