[nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailgun] Mailgun Integration

[Scuzz]

@julian So it is coming then?

Thanks for the info.

[julian]

So it is coming then?

I believe @bentael has a plugin https://npmjs.org/package/nodebb-plugin-mailchimp

[bentael]

yea this just keeps tracks of all of your sign-ups in a MailChimp list, so you can email them easily, but it hasnt been tested with 0.3.1, i'll polish it up this weekend.

@Scuzz if you want to get fancy on a terminal, in the NodeBB Admin Panel > Users tab I believe, you can download a list of ALL of your users in CSV format, then use this utility mandrill-blast to email all of your users a template of your choice, it uses the Mandrill API which is the same product also owned by Mailchimp, so, single sign-on i think.

@bentael I was looking around mailgun last night and found something similar with that. I can send the email messages to a group of users with the command line; i can use the CSV file too.

[julian]

That's awesome! Glad the CSV file is coming in handy

Hello @julian, what domain should I use?

[julian]

@giorgio-chiodi That depends where you want your emails to come from... For example, when we send emails from sales[@]nodebb.org, the domain is nodebb.org

[Giorgio Chiodi]

ok I understand, we've setup a sandbox mailgun domain for now

[meetdilip]

Can we use the email account like [email protected] ? Is this plug in a must have ?

hey. all . i have installed the mailgun plugin ,and got the mailgun service , do i still need the postfix to integrate to communicate with mailgun service?

[julian]

Hey @xenofilodotcom -- you won't need Postfix if you use the Mailgun plugin. Just plug in your API key and secret (or whatever it needs of you), save, restart your NodeBB, and you should be good to go!

hi , all , i got a new problem, that if register a new account, the mailgun will sent a mail to the new user email address , if i want retrieve the password for an exsited user , the nodebb will occur an error, tells me that error.invalid email .

[julian]

@xenofilodotcom You'll have to put in their email, not the username, if that's what you're trying...?

[xenofilodotcom]

@julian Yes. i put in the email address . not the username, ,i don't know what wrong with it..ps :I installed the nodebb on a fresh linode server.

Anyone else getting double commas in the emails after the username - or just me?

That a custom template? I don't on my daily digest emails.

[julian]

@Ted what language are you using? The translation in transifex may have an extra comma.

@a_5mith, it's just the account activation mail.
