Hey! are you using the following configuration? make sure they applied on /admin/customization/config under SMTP section

SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.sendgrid.net,
SMTP_PORT: 587,
SMTP_AUTHENTICATION: :plain,
SMTP_USER_NAME: apikey,
SMTP_PASSWORD: your-api-key-goes-here,
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I'm using Forem selfhost, so I've added Sendgrid Api key and api key id in the setup.yml file. Then when Forem being deployed, I think these configurations need to be set automatically. Am I wrong? Should I put this configuration to the .env file manually?

do you recall which environment variable you set the sendgrid API to? is it SENDGRID_API_KEY or SMTP_PASSWORD?

if you are not sure, you can override it by going to your-forem.com/admin/customization/config under the SMTP section.

you have to set them up before installation or you can do it after installation.
