How to change SMTP settings in Supabase?

 

Step 1: Access Supabase Project Settings

 

To change SMTP settings in Supabase, you'll need to access your Supabase project settings first. Follow the steps below:

• Log in to your Supabase account at https://app.supabase.io.
• Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and select your project.
• On your project overview page, click on the "Project Settings" option in the sidebar.

 

Step 2: Navigate to the Auth Settings

 

Now that you are in the project settings:

• Inside the project settings menu, look for and click on the "Authentication" section.
• Under this section, you will find various tabs like "Users", "Templates", and "Settings". Click on "Settings".

 

Step 3: Locate the SMTP Configuration

 

In the "Settings" tab under Authentication:

• Scroll down to find a subsection labeled "SMTP Settings". This is where you'll configure your SMTP settings for sending emails.

 

Step 4: Enter Your SMTP Settings

 

Enter your SMTP server details:

SMTP Host: smtp.your-email-provider.com
SMTP Port: 587
SMTP User: [email protected]
SMTP Password: your-email-password

Be sure to replace these placeholders with the actual details from your email service provider.

• SMTP Host: The server address of your SMTP provider.
• SMTP Port: The port number used for SMTP traffic, typically 465 for SSL or 587 for TLS.
• SMTP User: Your email address or username for the SMTP server.
• SMTP Password: Corresponding password for the user's email address.

 

Step 5: Set the From Email Address

 

• Within the same "SMTP Settings" section, you might need to set a "From email" address. This email will appear as the sender email when your application sends out emails. Enter a verified email address that you intend to use as the sender.

 

Step 6: Configure Additional Email Options

 

Some providers allow for additional SMTP configurations such as securing the connection with TLS/SSL or defining additional headers. If applicable:

• Set the "Secure" setting to true for SSL/TLS connections or false for unsecured ones.
• Consult your SMTP provider's documentation for any additional settings.

Here's an example configuration if additional settings are needed:

Secure: true
Require TLS: true

 

Step 7: Save the Changes

 

• After entering all the necessary details, ensure that you click on the "Save" button to apply the changes.
• Your Supabase project should now be configured to send emails using the specified SMTP server.

 

Step 8: Test the SMTP Configuration

 

To ensure that your SMTP settings are correct:

• Trigger an authentication-related email event, such as a password reset or sign-up email, to verify if your application correctly sends an email.
• Check both the Supabase logs and your email server logs to verify successful email dispatch.

 

Step 9: Troubleshoot Any Issues

 

If you encounter issues with your email delivery:

• Double-check the SMTP settings you entered for any inaccuracies.
• Ensure that your SMTP credentials are correct and the server is not blocking connections.
• If email delivery fails, consult your email provider's documentation for possible issues such as IP whitelisting or account restrictions.
