XF 1.5 What are the correct Sendgrid settings?

[Beejeebers]

I have a sendgrid account that I use with Clickfunnels and it works perfectly. I tried hooking it up to xenforo under "email options" but it kept throwing authentication errors. I switched the emails back to just the default and the errors are gone. BUT at scale I don't want to relay on the default emails going out from my server. I want to hook it up to sendgrid.

Is this possible and is there anything in the manual about this? (The correct settings).

The settings would really normally need to come from Sendgrid (the SMTP provider). What sort of errors were you getting?

 

[Beejeebers]

This is in the server error log...it's weird though because some emails do go out and it seems some random ones do not.

Incorrect authentication data

That suggests the credentials you have entered for the account are incorrect.

See point 8 here: https://xenforo.com/community/resou...ting-guide.5086/updates#resource-update-18730

 

[Beejeebers]

Yeah it's weird though because it works for half and fails for half.

 

[Mike]

If you are getting inconsistent data, that would seem to imply some sort of issue with Sendgrid itself -- we'd be sending the same username/password for each request.

 

[Beejeebers]

Ok cool, I'll ask them and show them the logs... thanks!
