Building a Power Automate workflow that needs to send email? You have options. 📨 Outlook connector → Great for Microsoft 365 email ⚙️ SMTP → Better when you need to send through your own authenticated domain Our latest guide walks through both approaches and when to use each. https://lnkd.in/e_cX65zr

An invoice email is the message that decides when you get paid. And most of us write it as an afterthought: "Please find the invoice attached." Our new guide has 7 copy-paste invoice email templates, from a first invoice to a final notice, plus the parts around them that actually move payment: And the part that's easy to forget: an invoice in the spam folder doesn't get paid. Authorize your domain, and never send invoices from noreply@. When you're asking someone for money, questions are part of the deal.

Passwordless authentication sounds simple: Enter email → Receive magic link → Sign in. But there's an important dependency in the middle: The email has to arrive. If your authentication flow depends on email, email delivery becomes part of your authentication infrastructure. Building with NextAuth? Here's how to send magic links using SMTP or an email API 👇 https://lnkd.in/ew3JWNqU

Why send transactional emails from a subdomain? Not because a subdomain magically makes an email more deliverable. It's about reputation isolation. If your marketing emails generate complaints, you don't want that reputation affecting password resets, receipts, and account notifications. Different email streams. Different reputations. Sometimes separation is the best protection. Learn more 👇 https://lnkd.in/evBy6RB5

Ever noticed some brands have their logo displayed right beside their emails in your inbox? That's BIMI. It can make your emails easier to recognize and harder to impersonate. But there's an important catch: BIMI doesn't directly improve email deliverability. Before you can use it, your email authentication needs to be in good shape, including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC at enforcement. So think of BIMI as the visible layer on top of strong email authentication. 🔐 Want to know how it works and whether it's worth setting up? Read the full guide 👇 https://lnkd.in/ez7-ZFtW

A user signs up. “Check your email for a verification code.” Nothing. They wait. Resend. Check again. Eventually, they give up. The email arrives 20 minutes later… in spam. By then, you've lost them. Transactional email is part of your product experience. If a critical email doesn't arrive when it matters, that's not just a deliverability problem. It's a customer experience problem.

What does your app actually need to send an email through an API? At its simplest: From → Who's sending? To → Who's receiving? Subject → What's the message about? Text / HTML → What should the recipient see? Then your application sends that data to the email API. That's the easy part. Production applications often need more: → Attachments → Multiple recipients → CC/BCC → Reply-To → Event tracking → Webhooks → Error handling Sending your first email might take a few lines of code. Building email reliably into a product requires thinking about what happens after send, too. That's where things get interesting.

Developers, let's end the week with some group therapy. 😅 What's the most frustrating email bug you've ever had to debug? We'll start: → Works locally, fails in production → Password reset emails mysteriously disappearing → Everything suddenly landing in spam → DNS records that look correct... but aren't → “It says delivered. I don't see it.” Email is one of those things that feels simple... until it isn't. What's your email debugging horror story? 👇

WordPress says the email was sent. Your customer says it never arrived. Both can be true. This is one of the confusing things about debugging WordPress email. When WordPress successfully hands an email off for sending, that doesn't necessarily mean the message reached the recipient's inbox. The problem could happen later in the journey. For example: → The server isn't configured properly for email → Authentication is missing or incorrect → The receiving server rejects the message → The email gets filtered as spam → The sending domain has reputation issues This is why reliable WordPress email usually means moving beyond the default server mail configuration and using authenticated SMTP or a transactional email provider. And when you're troubleshooting, don't just ask: "Did WordPress send it?" Ask: "What happened after WordPress sent it?" That's usually where the interesting debugging begins.
