How to set up Chatwoot with Migadu

09 Apr 2025 - Help improve this post

If you’re self-hosting Chatwoot and want to send emails using Migadu, here’s a quick guide. This helps you send out system emails, like invite emails, password recovery emails, etc. To use it for email conversations, you can set up an inbox in Chatwoot. No need for these environment variables.

Update your .env file with the following SMTP settings. Replace all instances of example.com with your own domain:

SMTP_DOMAIN=example.com
SMTP_ADDRESS=smtp.migadu.com
SMTP_PORT=465
SMTP_USERNAME=support@example.com
SMTP_PASSWORD=your-password-here
SMTP_AUTHENTICATION=login
SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS_AUTO=false
SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE=peer
SMTP_TLS=true

Note: These values are for secure sending via SSL (port 465). You can use STARTTLS (port 587) if you prefer, but adjust the config accordingly.

To apply the changes, restart your Chatwoot server.
