E-mail Integration for Nearby Shops

For Managed Setup

E-mail Integration comes out of the box with our hosting service. Therefore you dont have to do anything in order to setup E-mail.

For Self-Hosted Setup

For e-mail there are many service providers like mailgun, sendgrid etc. Just register your account on any of your favourite e-mail provider and get your smtp credentials. Then put those in the api_config.properties file.

If you have installed your Instance using Docker then follow these steps.

Enter and Get inside your container.

                     Commands
                  

    docker-compose start
    (please ensure that you are inside the directory where your docker-compose.yml resides)


    docker exec -it nbs_api_container bash

    cd ~/nearbyshops/data

    sudo nano api_config.properties

    (Exit container using Ctrl + C or Ctrl + D)
                
                

Update the api_config.properties file with SMTP credentials and then save it using Ctrl + X
Dont forget to restart the container server after making changes to the api_config.properties file.

    cd ~/nearbyshops
    sudo nano api_config.properties
