Email Configuration

Sprout includes automated email capabilities to keep you updated on your financial health, including weekly summaries of your income, expenses, and net worth.

Email functionality is not required and is only intended to provide you automated reports. It is not used for anything else but support may be added in the future.

Configuration Settings

To enable email functionality, you must set the following environment variables in your Sprout configuration.

Variable	Description
sprout_server_email_enabled	Set to true to enable the mailing service.
sprout_server_email_from	The email address or name that appears in the "From" field.
sprout_server_email_host	The SMTP server host (e.g., smtp.gmail.com).
sprout_server_email_user	The username for your SMTP server.
sprout_server_email_pass	The password or App Password for your SMTP server.

Fore more configuration information, see the configuration page.

Using email

To utilize email, it is by default disabled for every user. To enable it, navigate to settings, confirm your email is populated, then set the update interval. If the interval is not set, or no email is set, then you will not receive the email as part of the reoccurring job.
