Hi,

Could you explain how to get the sending of the automatic emails to work? Didn’t find much documentation about it on tyk site.
I have filled the custom fields and enabled the emails in the settings.

Hi tarmo,

You will need to use Mandrill, and you can set it up using the mandrill fields in the Tyk analytics conf file, it’s not documented (will be in next version):

"email_backend": {
    "enable_email_notifications": true,
    "code": "mandrill",
    "settings": {
        "ClientKey": "xxxxxxxxx"
    },
    "default_from_email": "[email protected]",
    "default_from_name": "The Dude"
}

Cheers,
Martin

Will using Mandrill (a paid service) be the only way to send these emails?

At the moment it is the only supported back-end, this is the service we use in Tyk Cloud which is why it is the first email provider.

We will be expanding out to standard SMTP support at some point in a future version. We’re open to feature requests on our GitHub page and from the community - if we get more interest, we build it.

Currently Mandrill is the only option.
