Hello,
After trying many different emailer plugins, we cannot find the ones that work well for us. Coming from a full-stack Windows development, we developed a local host that Bubble can API to:
-Send Email to users via our existing SMTP account
-Perform operations that can only be done on our local system
It’s been working well for us, and we want to know if this approach could be helpful to anyone else, maybe, develop this solution further.
Why bother?
-We want to use our email account to send mail.
-Much easier to connect using Bubble’s API Connector.
-Can be customized to add more locally operating functions, saving WU
-Leveraging our existing Windows hardware.
Is it safe?
-Yes, because all the calls are made from Bubble. io’s backend (API Connector), which hides our URL endpoint.
-Use uncommon port number (can be changed)
How is it configured?
-Run the local host on a Windows computer
-Port-forward our router to that host machine
-Use dynamic DNS service so we can identify our web server on the web
Let me know what you think!
