E-Mail Services¶

E-Mail Services defines how Emakin sends email notifications and, when enabled, how users can act directly from email messages.

When to Use This Page¶

Use this page when you need to:

configure SMTP delivery
configure OpenAuth-based mail delivery
test outbound email connectivity
enable email-based actions that depend on inbound mail handling

The current documentation states that Emakin prefers OpenAuth-based email services when they are defined; otherwise it uses configured SMTP connections.

E-Mail Actions¶

When enabled, users can perform selected actions directly from email notification messages.

This feature depends on inbound mail configuration. See Mail Forwarding.

SMTP Connections¶

Use this section to define SMTP servers for outbound mail.

Is Enabled?¶

Controls whether the SMTP configuration is active.

From Address¶

Sender address used in outgoing email.

From Display Name¶

Sender display name shown to recipients.

SMTP Server¶

Hostname or IP address of the SMTP server.

Test Connection¶

Sends a test message after you provide the required connection details and a valid recipient address.

User Name¶

SMTP authentication user name.

Password¶

SMTP authentication password.

SSL¶

Controls whether SSL is used for the SMTP connection.

SMTP Port¶

Documented common values:

Mail Server Type	Port Number
Non-Encrypted	25

Secure (SSL)	465

OpenAuth-Based E-Mail Services¶

Use this section when outbound email should be sent through an OpenAuth-backed service.

Client Type¶

Defines the OpenAuth client type. The existing documentation states that Office 365 is currently supported here.

Service¶

Selects the integrated service definition to use. Because mail sending often runs in background jobs without an interactive user, the selected integrated service must be configured as a service account.

Name¶

Internal descriptive name for this email-service entry.

Service Identity¶

Sender email address used by the OpenAuth mail service.

Scopes¶

Scopes requested for this service. If left blank, the provider’s documented default scopes are used.
