Email delivery

Atelier sends transactional email — password resets, account and update notices — through a transport you choose: log-only, SMTP, or an API provider

Atelier sends transactional email on your behalf: password resets, account notices, and update alerts. Where those messages actually go is up to you — pick a delivery method that suits your setup.

A fresh install sends nothing to the outside world. Until you connect a transport, email is written to your site's log so nothing is lost — and nothing is silently delivered.

Choose how email is delivered

Open System from your account menu, then go to Configuration → Mail delivery (/admin/config/aincient/mail). You have three options.

Log only

The default. Messages are recorded in your site's log instead of being sent. Good for trying Atelier out before you connect real delivery.

SMTP server

Send through any SMTP server — your own, or a provider that gives you SMTP credentials. Enter the host, port, username, and password.

API provider

Send through a hosted email API (SendGrid or Postmark). Enter the provider's API key.

Connect a transport

Open Mail delivery

From the console, open your account menu, choose System, then Configuration → Mail delivery.

Pick a delivery method

Choose SMTP server or API provider. The fields you need appear below your choice.

Enter your credentials

Fill in the server details or API key. Your key is stored securely on your site and is never written to your exported configuration or to version control.

Send a test email

Enter a recipient under Send a test email and click Send test email. Atelier sends a real message using the values on screen — even before you save — so you can confirm delivery works.

Save

Click Save configuration. From now on, Atelier's transactional email goes through your transport.

Tip

Changing your delivery method later never re-exposes a stored key. Leave the key or password field blank to keep the one you already saved.

The sender name and address don't live here — they come from your site identity. Atelier sends as the name and email address set in Site information, so there's one place to manage your brand's identity.

If you ever need a different sender for email specifically, set a From address override on the Mail delivery page. Leave it blank to send as your Site information address.

If you haven't set a sender address yet, add one in Site information — otherwise email falls back to a placeholder address that may be filtered by recipients.

API providers

SendGrid and Postmark are supported with a single API key. Some providers need an extra package installed before they can send; if a test fails with a transport error, that package isn't available on your install yet. SMTP works on every install with no extra setup.
