Hook up Truth Sleuth to SendGrid (SMTP)

[luukee]

Steps to Set Up Firebase SMTP with SendGrid:

1. Get Your SendGrid API Key:

   • Log in to your SendGrid account.
   • Navigate to Settings → API Keys.
   • Create a new API key (if you don’t have one) and store it securely.

2. Enable Email Templates in Firebase Authentication:

   • Go to the Firebase Console.
   • Open your project.
   • Go to Authentication → Templates.
   • In this section, you’ll find the email templates Firebase uses (for email verification, password reset, etc.).

3. Add SMTP Settings in Firebase Authentication:

   • In the Firebase Console, go to Authentication → Settings.
   • Scroll down to the Email Templates section.
   • Click Customize action emails → SMTP to enable custom email sending via SMTP.

   • Enter the following details:

     • SMTP Host: smtp.sendgrid.net
     • Port: 587 (or 465 if you prefer SSL)
     • Username: apikey (yes, this is literal; you use apikey as the username)
     • Password: Your SendGrid API key
     • Sender Address: no-reply@mediaengagement.org (or any other email address from your domain you want to use for sending)

     Example setup:

     SMTP Host: smtp.sendgrid.net
     Port: 587
     Username: apikey
     Password: Your_SendGrid_API_Key
     Sender Address: no-reply@mediaengagement.com

4. Save Changes:

   • After entering these details, save your changes.

Now Firebase will use SendGrid to send any authentication-related emails (like email verification, password reset, etc.) from no-reply@mediaengagement.com.
