@duypv You need be using admin email for the following env:

APPFLOWY_MAILER_SMTP_USERNAME=
APPFLOWY_MAILER_SMTP_PASSWORD=

which can be the same as:

GOTRUE_ADMIN_EMAIL=
GOTRUE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=

[duypv]

you mean it need to be same value?

Right now, magic link work but I can't invite other user.

[speed2exe]

@duypv Yes, you can use the same value (copy from GOTRUE_ADMIN_EMAIL to APPFLOWY_MAILER_SMTP_USERNAME).

Just saw this issue. I still have an error with email invitation, though I'm correctly setting APPFLOWY_MAILER_SMTP_* values, see #553 (comment)

Hi, have you found a solution?

[speed2exe]

I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Do check that the following env var is set correctly:

GOTRUE_SMTP_ADMIN_EMAIL
GOTRUE_SMTP_USER
GOTRUE_SMTP_PASS
GOTRUE_SMTP_PORT
GOTRUE_SMTP_HOST

You may also inspect the logs in gotrue service.
Do note that you should have APPFLOWY_WEB_URL unset. If it is set, the email will be attempted to send from appflowy_cloud instead of gotrue.

@duypv Are you still facing this issue? The only way I can think of scenario in the above is where you have logged in as a non-admin user, but you somehow manage to get into the admin page /web/admin/home, for which even though you can see the functionalities, it will not allow you to perform any of the actions due to permission. It could be also you have logged in to another non-admin user from another tab, you can resolve this by logging out and logging in again.

[duypv]

yes, please note magic link work normal. But invite mail to workspace don't work. So I don't think SMTP config is reason.

[speed2exe]

@duypv invite to workspace do you mean in the "invite" section? on the left panel of non-admin user?

[duypv]

on both: desktop app and admin ui. No email sent.

@duypv you actually dont need email for workspace invitation to work(it's for notification and convenience). you can have the invitee to login to your self host cloud web/login, go to "invite" section, you should see it in the pending invite section
