Email Settings

Configure the email templates and settings that your app uses to invite users

Noloco needs to send transactional emails to your app's users from time to time such as:

And possibly some other instances

These emails will come from [email protected] but you can customize the name that the emails are sent from

Customize the Email From name

To customize the name that your Noloco emails are sent from, open the Email settings in your app or using this link: https://portals.noloco.io/~/_/settings/emails and pick a name, usually this is your brand's name, or something like Sam from Evently

If you want to customize the email address, you will need to set up SMTP (available as an add-on on Pro and Business plans, included on Enterprise plans)

Invitation emails

When you add a user to your Noloco app you can trigger to send an invitation email from the User table.

Depending on whether they are a Team Member / Builder, or not they will get one of the two email invitations in your app's email settings. The content of both of these emails can be customized to your liking using personalization tokens like first name, last name and related fields like company > name

Customer invitation email

This email will be sent to anyone without a Team Member role attribute and without a Modify App role attributed when they are invited to your app via the user table.

Internal Invitation Email

The internal invitation email template will be used to send to anyone who is not considered external (by the above definition). This means, anyone with the 'Team Member' role property, or 'Modify App' role property will be sent this email, which you can customize from the Email settings page

Troubleshooting Email Delivery

Password Reset Email Issues

How to Send a Password Reset Email

For individual users:

  1. Find the user who needs a password reset

  2. Click the menu button (three dots) next to their name

  3. Select "Send password reset email"

For users who request it themselves:

  • Users can visit your app's login page

  • Click "Forgot your password?" link

  • Enter their email address to receive reset instructions

Password Reset Emails Not Being Received

Common causes and solutions:

  1. Check spam/junk folders: Password reset emails often get filtered by email providers

  2. Verify email address: Ensure the email address in the user record is correct and properly formatted

  3. Email delivery delays: Sometimes emails can take 5-10 minutes to arrive

  4. Corporate email filters: Some organizations block automated emails

If magic links aren't working:

  1. Check spam/junk folders: Magic link emails often get filtered by email providers

  2. Check with IT department: Ask if automated emails from noloco.app domain are being blocked

  3. Whitelist Noloco domains: Add noloco.app and *.noloco.app to email whitelist

  4. Test with personal email: Try sending magic link to a personal email to confirm it's not a user-specific issue

  5. Use password login: Enable password-based login as a backup option

Corporate Phishing System Compatibility

  1. Work with IT team: Share this information with your IT department:

    • Magic links are generated with enhanced security tokens

    • Links expire after a short time for security

    • All links originate from verified Noloco domains

  2. Configure email security settings:

    • Whitelist [email protected] as a trusted sender

    • Allow links from *.noloco.co and *.noloco.app domains

    • Configure link scanning to not modify Noloco URLs

  3. Alternative solutions:

    • Switch to password-based authentication if magic links are consistently blocked

    • Use SMTP configuration to send emails from your own domain
