More help please

I’m trying to set up SendGrid as the mailer for my nodeBB site.

I have generated an API Key/password on the SendGrid site.

I enter the username “apikey” and the generated password from the SendGrid site.

My Email settings in NodeBB look like this:

When I send a test email, I get the “email sent” toast. But SendGrid shows no evidence that it was received and/or worked. I’m not receiving the test email as well.

I tried custom setup using their smtp host address and ports and that has the same results. Success toast and no sign that it actually worked.

The README in this repo says there are settings under plugins but I don’t see anything related to this plugin. I see the plugin installed and activated and rebuilt everything.

Maybe update the README with relevant information for the 3.x version of nodeBB (that I’m using)?

And more step by step instructions (go to SendGrid do this, then that, then enter this into nodeBB, etc.)

Thanks!

Magic. The link to settings under Plugins did appear and I see it asks for the API key there, too.

Plus in the email setup as above!

I’m not sure, exactly, why the plugin link appeared. It looks like my admin login elapsed and after logging in, it appeared.

Maybe some screenshots or something in the README might help.

Thanks for your time.

I’ll let you close this, or leave it open so other people having my problem can see the resolution.

Cheers

More.

The test emails were sending, but not the others. I was able to turn off smtp using the switch in the control panel and now emails appear to send.

Interesting.
