Connect AledaMail

AledaMail sends delivery events to EmailShift as they happen, so this is the fastest connection for real-time detection.

Steps

  1. In EmailShift, go to Connections → New connection → AledaMail.
  2. Enter the address of your AledaMail installation and a read-only API token. The connection form explains where to create the token in AledaMail.
  3. EmailShift checks the token. A token that can change data in AledaMail is refused: EmailShift only needs to read.
  4. Copy the webhook URL and signing secret shown after connecting into the EmailShift settings in AledaMail.

Checking that it works

The connection page shows when the last event arrived. Send a test message from AledaMail; the event should appear within a minute or two.

Good to know

  • Webhook requests are signed. Requests with a wrong signature or an old timestamp are rejected, and repeated failures show up as a security notification.
  • You can rotate the signing secret on the connection page at any time.
