Postiz supports two email providers: Resend and NodeMailer (SMTP).
If you have an email provider configured, then new users will require activation.
EMAIL_PROVIDER: "resend|nodemailer"
Resend
Postiz uses Resend to send email notifications to users. If this key is set, users will also require activation.
- Register to Resend (opens in a new tab), and connect your domain.
- Copy your API Key from the Resend control panel.
- Open the .env file and edit the following line.
EMAIL_PROVIDER="resend"
RESEND_API_KEY="<your-api-key-here>"
NodeMailer (SMTP)
This is an alternative to Resend. You can use NodeMailer, which is simply a SMTP library, to connect to any SMTP server.
EMAIL_PROVIDER: "nodemailer"
EMAIL_HOST: "smtp.gmail.com" # smtp host if you choose nodemailer
EMAIL_PORT: "465" # smtp port if you choose nodemailer
EMAIL_SECURE: "true" # smtp secure if you choose nodemailer
EMAIL_USER: "user" # smtp user if you choose nodemailer
EMAIL_PASS: "pass" # smtp pass if you choose nodemailer
