I think the email notifications when making a booking (https://www.manlytouch.com/field-bookings/) have stopped working on our site, maybe after I updated the plugin recently? I just made a booking but did not receive the email confirmation which has worked in the past. I was also wanting to see if I could change a booking by logging into the customer panel from here - https://www.manlytouch.com/field-bookings-login-to-account/ - but when I request the password link nothing was received?
Please go to the notifications section inspect the page then try and send test notifications and then if there are any issues you will see the error in the network section. If there is any please send us a screenshot so that we can take a look.
The error should show unless you are using PHP mail. We can help only if you are using SMTP if you are using WP mail which is this party plugin then you need to reach out to their support team and if you are using PHP mail you need to change this
We strongly recommend changing the mail service setting to SMTP or Mailgun because the email that is sent with PHP Mail generally gets flagged as spam by mail servers and also can take some time to send. See below how to configure SMTP and Mailgun mail services.
So please set the SMTP on your site
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) – In this article, we show how to configure the SMTP mail service for Gmail, but you can set it up for any other outgoing service that supports SMTP for a mail client. When you select this option, four inputs will appear – you need to populate them to configure SMTP properly. A Google SMTP example:
SMTP Host – smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port – 587
SMTP Secure – TLS
SMTP Username – Your Gmail address
SMTP Password – Your App password (details about setting up an app password can be found in the notice section below)
The most commonly used SMTP Ports are 465 and 587. Port 465 uses “SSL” as SMTP Secure, while port 587 uses “TLS” as SMTP Secure. Make sure to check what the correct SMTP settings are for your mailing provider.
Google SMTP (Gmail accounts):
From 30 May 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password, so “Allow less secure apps” will be removed.
In order to continue using SMTP with Gmail, you will need to set up an App Password for Amelia. App Passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on. Instructions about this can be found on Google’s Documentation, here.
For detailed set-up instructions, please take a look at this article on our official support platform.
Microsoft SMTP (outlook, hotmail, live, and office365 email accounts):
If you’re having issues using SMTP with your Microsoft account, please make sure to set up an App Password for Amelia. App Passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on in the Security Basics section of your Microsoft account. Instructions about this can be found on Microsoft’s Documentation, here.
For detailed set-up instructions, please take a look at this article on our official support platform.
Hope this helps.
We wish you all the best and hope you have a wonderful day ahead.
I don't think any email notifications are working, I have changed the SMTP settings in my website admin to be my own personal outlook account as I could no longer find how to add an app password to my work gmail account, but when I test sending an email it gives an error despite following all instructions here - https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/article/18090/
For the reset password link, it gives a message the email has been sent but nothing comes to my email. For the login to the account it just comes up as failed when I view the network messages, so I'm not sure what is going on? Please help.
Please provide me a temporary WP-admin (administrator) user for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue.
We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course, we do not provide login data to third parties.
You can write credentials here just check PRIVATE Reply so nobody can see them except us.
We wish you all the best and hope you have a wonderful day ahead.
This is not issue with Amelia. I discovered you have an issue with your Notifications, if I try to make any Test Email from the Amelia/Notifications section, for Customers or Employees, there is this error 500, with the error text :
"SMTP Error: Could not authenticate "
This means the issue comes from your Email provider,
the error is pointing to the wrong SMTP credentials.
Please check your Email SMTP credentials, and try to do a Test Email from Amelia's Notifications tab.
If you see an error, and on the top right if it says "Can not send Email", please keep your browser developer console open, and the Network Tab, check in the "Preview" what is the error message,
if it still says "Can not authenticate", try to get support from your Email provider and isolate the issue.
-
An alternate approach can be to install a 3rd Party WP Mail SMTP Plugin on WordPress,
then configure your SMTP provider there, and do a Test Email in this Plugin.
If the test goes through, then in Amelia just set up WP Mail as your chosen Email provider, then it should work.
Should you have any further inquiries, we kindly request that you open separate tickets for each question and we will gladly help you there.
We wish you all the best and hope you have a wonderful day ahead.
