To set up email sending with Aronium, go to Settings and open "Email settings".

email-settings.png

Fill in the following properties:

  • Host
    SMTP server used to send an email
  • Port
    Port used for sending email
  • SSL Enabled
    Indicates whether SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is enabled. Check this field if your email provider requires secure connection
  • Display name
    Used as a display name for outgoing messages.
  • Email address
    Enter email address used for authorization. This is the email address from which emails (e.g. receipts) will be sent
  • Password
    Your email account password

Default email message values

  • Subject
    Sets default subject used for sending emails to customers
  • Message
    Sets default message used in emails sent to customers

Placeholders

Use placeholders in message subject and body to set content related to the receipt being sent.

For example, custom subject line "Receipt attached - {receipt}" will result in generated subject "Receipt attached - 170-200-000123"

Placeholder Description
{receipt} Inserts receipt number
{date} Inserts date when receipt was created
{total} Inserts receipt total

Leaving default values blank

You can leave default subject and message blank.

If not set, automatically generated subject and message for the customer will be used. You can change them before message is sent.

Here you can find the settings for most popular email providers:

Gmail

To use your Gmail account in Aronium, an application specific password must be generated. To generate application specific password, visit https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833.

Generated password

Make sure to write down or enter generated password immediately, as you will not be able to see it again.

Once you have generated your application password, use the following settings for Gmail:

Host smtp.gmail.com
Port 587
SSL enabled Yes
Email Your email address
Username Leave empty or use your email address
Password Your generated application password

 

Yahoo

Before you can use Yahoo with 3rd party application, you have to generate third-party app password.

To generate third-party app passwords, visit https://help.yahoo.com/kb/generate-manage-third-party-passwords-sln15241.html.

Once you generate third-party app password, enter the following properties:

Host smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port 587
SSL enabled Yes
Email Your email address
Password Third-party app password

 

Outlook / Hotmail

Outlook is not supported anymore

Microsoft has removed the option to use standard SMTP functionality for sending emails from third-party apps as basic authentication is not allowed anymore (see the announcement).

As a workaround, we suggest using one of the alternatives like Gmail that supports creating of a dedicated application password.
