📧 Email Settings in Taskify

The Email Settings section in Taskify allows administrators to configure how the system sends emails, including notifications, password resets, and updates. A properly configured email setup ensures reliable communication with team members and clients.

🔑 Accessing Email Settings

1. Log in to Taskify with an Admin account.

2. Navigate to Settings → Email Settings from the sidebar menu.

3. You’ll see fields for configuring your mail driver and SMTP details.

⚙️ Configuration Options

1. Mail Driver

• Choose the mail driver that Taskify will use to send emails.

• Supported drivers:

  • SMTP (recommended)

  • Sendmail

  • Log (for local testing)

2. SMTP Configuration

If you select SMTP as the driver, you’ll need to provide:

• Mail Host → e.g., smtp.gmail.com

• Mail Port → Common values: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)

• Encryption → ssl or tls

• Username → Your SMTP username (often your email)

• Password → The SMTP password or App Password (for Gmail/Outlook, etc.)

3. Test Email

Once you save your configuration, send a Test Email to verify everything is working.

• If the email fails, double-check your SMTP credentials and ensure the server allows external SMTP connections.

📝 Example Setup (Gmail SMTP)

Mail Driver: smtp
Mail Host: smtp.gmail.com
Mail Port: 587
Encryption: tls
Username: your-email@gmail.com
Password: your-app-password

⚠️ Note: If using Gmail, you must enable App Passwords and 2FA on your account.

📌 Best Practices

• Use a dedicated email account for Taskify notifications.

• Avoid free SMTP services for production; instead, use providers like:

  • Amazon SES

  • SendGrid

  • Mailgun

• Always send a test email after changing settings.

• For local testing, you can use the Log driver to write emails to log files.
