Setting up email
Connect an email provider so temetro can send verification, reset, and invite emails.
temetro sends a handful of emails: verify your address when you sign up, reset your password when you forget it, and invitations when you add a teammate. Out of the box, temetro doesn't send anything — it just writes those emails to the server log, which is fine while you're trying it out locally. To send real email, connect a provider here.
Where to set it up
Open Settings → Developers → Email provider. You'll need to be an owner or admin.
This is a whole-deployment setting, not a per-clinic one. (Password-reset and verification emails go out while a person is signed out, so temetro can't know which clinic they belong to — there's just one email setup for the entire server.) Any clinic admin can set it, and it applies everywhere.
Pick a provider
Choose one from the dropdown and fill in the matching fields, then click Save.
| Provider | What you enter |
|---|---|
| Resend | An API key from your Resend account, plus a from address |
| Postmark | A Postmark server token (API key), plus a from address |
| SendGrid | A SendGrid API key, plus a from address |
| SMTP | Nothing here — SMTP uses the server's SMTP_* environment variables |
| None | The default — emails are only written to the server log |
The from address is who the email appears to come from, for example
temetro <no-reply@yourclinic.com>. With most providers you'll need to verify your sending
domain in their dashboard first, or your messages may not be delivered.
Your key is kept safe
API keys are encrypted before they're stored and are never shown again — the screen only tells you whether a key is set. To change it, paste a new one; to remove it, clear the field and save.
Send a test
After saving, click Send test. temetro emails the signed-in admin so you can confirm everything works end to end. If it doesn't arrive, double-check the API key, the from address, and that your sending domain is verified with the provider.
If you skip this
You don't have to connect a provider. If none is set and an employee clicks Forgot password, temetro can't email them a link — so instead it alerts your clinic admins: a System message appears in their Messages (with a bell notification), clearly marked as a system notice. Opening it jumps to that employee in Care Team, where an admin can set a new password for them. See Clinic settings → Sending email.
The matching API details are in the settings API.
