Email Notifcations

[smartie]

I looked around and didn’t see any recent posts - my email notifications (tied to various pistons) used to work, but they are no longer working. Email is working fine and various pistons have not changed for a year or more. I can even see (at least some) of the pistons saying the email command has been issued. Any issues with the email integration currently?

How many are your pistons sending per day? In April, new limits were imposed.

Notice - Forum and webCoRE emails are down

NOTICE Please note that our email provider (mailgun) is currently down due to excessive use which has pushed us over the rate limits (max 10k emails per day). We have killed all the backed up emails, so hopefully emails will fire up again soon. The biggest culprit appears to be the forum… with over 1.3 million emails sent so far! In preparation for when emails start working again, and to prevent a re-occurrence, we have been forced to disable the daily digest emails and have limited each use…

Very rarely, if at all…

For what it’s worth, the emails from our pistons plus the emails from this forum all count towards our daily limit. Any mail beyond that will not be received.

If your emails are being rate limited in the webCoRE app it will show in the logs.

Could you try sending emails to a different email account (different provider, i.e. gmail, or Hotmail, instead of your icloud address.

Thank you - I think I’m going to switch over to texting or push notifications for anything that currently uses email only.

Thanks for clarifying Robin.

Will the error be visible in the log for the piston that tried to send the email?
(or are you referring to the optional webCoRE app for Android?)

It will be in the piston logs.

The mobile app is just a wrapper for a super basic browser, with location bolted on. If you view a piston in the mobile app it is identical to what you see in a browser.
