You can send emails to your users with either the files attached, or via a link to your CDN (BunnyCDN or Cloudinary). The files are uploaded automatically, on request, to your CDN, and the link is resolved by using the [link] tag in your HTML template

SMTP configuration in Xangle

In order to use our mailing system, you must have an SMTP provider. We suggest SendGrid, but you can also use Mandrill, Mailgun or SendInBlue. For testing purposes, you can also use your Gmail account (be careful with this as you're going to get blocked very quickly).

  1. Open Settings / Sharing options
  2. Scroll down to "SMTP provider" and enter your SMTP details.

Sendgrid configuration

Here's the procedure to create your Api key from Sendgrid

  1. Log into your Sendgrid account
  2. Click on Settings / API Keys
  3. Click on "Create API Key"
  4. Give a name to your new key, select the proper permission and click on "Create & View"
  5. Copy the Key and paste it inside the "Sendgrid Password" field in Xangle (see instructions above)

CDN configuration

A CDN acts as a storage and delivery bridge between XangleCS and the guests who want to download their photos or videos. This is especially useful if your files are too big to be sent by email in attachment. We currently support BunnyCDN and Cloudinary

Direct Download

Direct Download skips entirely the email process. This lets your user scan a QR code and retrieve the content on their smartphone right away. No SMTP is required, but you’ll need a CDN to achieve this. Note that you can combine Direct Download and Email sharing. More details on https://doc.xanglecs.com/qr-code-sharing-serverless
