Email plugin

Use the Nodemailer provider with Parcel Wing's SMTP host and your API key.

config/plugins.js

// config/plugins.js
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
email: {
config: {
provider: "nodemailer",
providerOptions: {
host: "smtp.parcelwing.com",
port: 587,
secure: false,
auth: {
user: "parcelwing",
pass: env("PARCELWING_API_KEY"),
},
},
settings: {
defaultFrom: "Acme <[email protected]>",
defaultReplyTo: "[email protected]",
},
},
},
});

Use a verified sender

Your from address should belong to a sending domain that is verified in Parcel Wing. This keeps SPF, DKIM, and DMARC aligned for better deliverability.

Troubleshooting

  • Use port 587 with STARTTLS, not implicit TLS on port 465.
  • Use parcelwing as the username and an active Parcel Wing API key as the password.
  • Make sure the sender address uses a verified sending domain.
  • If a vendor has a test email button, send a test before enabling production email.
