Email

Connxio lets customers send messages from the Connxio pipeline by configuring connections to email accounts. We currently support the SMTP protocol. This page details limitations of said protocol and how to configure and connect to an email account.

Limitations

There are some limitations to our Outbound Email Adapter, these include:

  • It is not possible to send more or less the same content to more than 500 recipients within 24 hours.
  • It is not possible to send more or less the same content to more than 2,500 recipients within 30 days.
  • It is not possible to send email to more than 500 recipients within 24 hours.
  • It is not possible to send email to more than 2,500 recipients within 30 days.

In addition to this SMTP allows the use of SSL and TLS. Of the two protocols, we recommend using TLS since this is the newer, more secure choice.

Configuring the Email adapter​

To configure Connxio to start processing your email messages select the Email option in "Outbound Connection" shape:

On creating a new adapter, a popup with the adapter's input fields will appear. Email has 4 sections; Adapter name, Acknowledgement settings, Core settings and Advanced settings.

  • Duplicate Detection: Terminate the message if the exact same has been processed any time within the last five days. Connxio does not guarantee that no duplicates will be sent.
  • Termination Status: The status used for logged in when a duplicate is terminated. If left empty, the status will default to 'Terminated'

Retry​

Retry on all outbound adapters is currently handled by the linear retry described on the Retry page. This may change in the future as we are looking into enabling back-off retry.
