To track email delivery, bounces, clicks, opens, etc., please ensure you add your AWS key, secret, region, and configuration set name in the .env variable. The system is currently configured only for Amazon SES and if you don't want to track any of this and just want to send emails, you can try adding another SMTP server, but I cannot guarantee it will work. See steps below:
In your .env make sure that you will have to add these variables and its values
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key-id
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-access-key
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=your-ses-region
AWS_SES_CONFIGURATION_SET=your-configuration-set-name
MAILIFYFLOW_NODE_PATH=full-path-to-your-nodeSteps below to configure your Amazon SES and SNS:
- Set up your Amazon SES to verify your email address and sending domain.
- Create your
Configuration Setsand ensure you select all event destinations like sends, hard bounces, complaints, and etc. to track your emails. - Create an SNS topic and choose the standard option.
- Create a subscription within your selected SNS topic, using
HTTPSas the protocol. You can useexposeorngrokto expose your local environment; in production, this is not necessary. - Use the exposed URL in the
Endpointfield of your SNS, appending/webhooks/sesat the end.
Important
Please ensure that you do not disable or cancel your expose or ngrok, as it needs to listen to all events coming from Amazon SNS. During development, it's crucial to keep it running, but in production, you can turn it off.
Steps below create AWS access key, secret access key, and region:
- Create an IAM group and assign the
AmazonSESFullAccessandAmazonSNSFullAccesspermissions. - Create a new IAM user and add them to the group you created.
- Once the user is created, obtain the access key and secret key, and ensure you use the same region where your Amazon SES is set up.
Lastly, the system uses jobs, so you will need to run php artisan queue:work for the local environment. For production, you will need to use a tool like supervisor and Laravel provides documentation for this. Additionally, the system having scheduled commands and you need to setup your server using the provided guide.
