Email Settings

DocIntel provides an multiple settings described below

  • NoReplyName: The name of the sender for emails.
  • NoReplyEmail: The email address of the sender for emails.
  • SMTPServer: The address of the SMTP server.
  • SMTPPort: The port number used by the SMTP server.
  • SMTPUser: The username used to authenticate with the SMTP server (if required).

  • EmailEnabled: A boolean value indicating whether email functionality is enabled in DocIntel.

Configuration

To configure email settings, you will need to update the values of the Email in the appsettings.json file located in the root folder of your DocIntel installation. Here’s an example of how you can configure the email settings:

"Email": {
    "NoReplyName": "DocIntel Notifications",
    "NoReplyEmail": "notifications@docintel.com",
    "SMTPServer": "smtp.gmail.com",
    "SMTPPort": 587,
    "SMTPUser": "your_email@gmail.com",
    "SMTPPassword": "your_email_password",
    "EmailEnabled": true,
    "CheckCertificateRevocation": true
}

Note that the example above is using Gmail’s SMTP server. Make sure to update the SMTPServer, SMTPUser, and SMTPPassword properties with the appropriate values for your SMTP server.
