The weird {email}},< link points to:

https://bingobo.herokuapp.com/clickthrough?url=div><div><br></div><div>Go to {freecodecamp/https://www.freecodecamp.com&trackingId=example-tracking-id

maybe some parsing issue or i'm missing something?

And if i remove either the email variable or the link, it works as expected

@zhakkarn

Thank you @DavOnGit for raising this. From what I'm seeing I do have the same idea as you but sadly I'm on the go and won't be able to look into it until tomorrow.

Valentin Dupas

@zhakkarn

it appears that, for some reason, the tracking link was dealt with before the replacement of the variable. And the tracked link syntax is any string looking like {label/link} , in this case it took {{email}},</div><div><br></div><div>Go to {freecodecamp/https://www.freecodecamp.com} instead of what you intended (see the missing '{' on the left of the variable in the second image and the fact that the variable hasn't been replaced by its value). I'll keep searching as to why it was done in this order because to me the code looks synchronous and deal with the variables before.

Davide

@DavOnGit

How can we fix this?
Can i help?
Can you point me to code/file where variable merging happens?
Is this a regression or this happens in previous relases too?

@zhakkarn

I don't know what to say other that I can't reproduce the problem encountered by @DavOnGit . Does anyone have the same info and potentially more intel on this?

Alex Vipond

@AlexVipond

@DavOnGit were you writing this as a plain text email, or HTML? Looks like Quincy was writing directly into an HTML email

Valentin Dupas

@zhakkarn

I'm 99% sure he did write it with the HTML editor because if you look at the url he gave us you can see it contains div tags and that it is a part of his email

Alex Vipond

@AlexVipond

@zhakkarn I'm wondering if clicking back and forth between plain text and HTML after typing the {{ }} might have messed things up

Davide

@DavOnGit

I'm still on this!
Can't figure out why this happens only to me :sweat_smile:, because @zhakkarn can't reproduce this behaviour on his own deployement.
So to help reproduce my case the app is deployed (with default credentials) HERE
@zhakkarn since my amazon SES is still sandboxed, i have to whitelist your email address
@AlexVipond I wrote it with HTML editor (following quincy's video)
Sorry for poor english and tanks for helping :sparkles:

Valentin Dupas

@zhakkarn

Sorry for the late answer to all of this. I don't have any excuse.
@AlexVipond Maybe, but probably not. Every time you switch to the HTML editor the emailbody stored in the redux state is corrected to valid HTML (even though it might missplace some tags such as a missing </strong>)
@DavOnGit I have verified my email address to be used with your SES account.
I really don't know how to take this problem. It definitely looks like a race condition but the code looks synchronous. I also can't reliably (if at all) reproduce the problem and it is in a part of the app which needs to be as fast as possible so I can't be heavy handed and force everything to run in a synchronous way.

Valentin Dupas

@zhakkarn

@AlexVipond Also the {{ }} are processed at send time. So switching back and forth doesn't touch these.

Hey

Anyone here who can help me install Mail for good on Amazon instance

Adinarayana Raghu

@adinarayaanraghu95

@smiller171 I installed the docker on the AWS instance and Oauth setting done.
Now how do I open the application on the web browser?

James Thurber

@JamesThurber_twitter

@adinarayaanraghu95 You should be able to use the DNS or IPv4 address of the EC2 instance to get to Mail For Good

Adinarayana Raghu

@adinarayaanraghu95

Hey the setup is done.
Just wanted to know if we won't be able to send attachments using mail for good?

Valentin Dupas

@zhakkarn

@adinarayaanraghu95 Right now, you can't send attachments with MfG. You can still use links pointing to some resources though.

Hi all

Is there a resource for getting a list started?

I keep trying to upload a CSV and nothing is going through

Thanks @jdja, your comment helped

Valentin Dupas

@zhakkarn

@taniarascia Right now there is no option to start a list from scratch bu using the following CSV should be a good place for you to start

email, var1, var2
yourEmail@somewhere.smt, value for var1, value for var2

@AlexVipond

Trying to revive an older Github issue: freeCodeCamp/mail-for-good#226
Looks like @karuppiah7890 or @4iar might know how to solve it

TL;DR, I'm having trouble getting MfG to consume the feedback from Amazon SES. That is, when Amazon SES tells my app that an address has bounced or complained about spam, the app won't show that info in the campaign report, and more importantly, it won't removed bounced addresses and complaint addresses from my email list.

The list I'm working with unfortunately has enough faulty emails that my SES account will get put on probation if I try to send more messages (Amazon requires a bounce rate of less than 5%). If I can just get one good round of feedback from SES, I should be able to clean out that list.

If anybody else is looking for an HTML template editor, we have implemented one successfully in SEIU503's fork of the project at https://github.com/seiu503/mail-for-good. we have also implemented scheduling emails in advance, and currently working on making saved campaigns copyable/editable and some other features, like the ability to control styling and placement of the unsubscribe link

Can someone explain how I add users to my instance of mail for good? I try adding a user by email and it says 'This user does not exist'.

@elevatordings_twitter

Cost per million emails sent is slightly larger as per this source (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZV3nr6DLwHShrPIHtPll-UjZ-DCadcjsYy-UpDEXq5E/edit?usp=sharing)

Can someone confirm this ?

Hi, I had a working MFG instance about a year ago. I recently booted it back up and it seems I am having trouble with Google oAuth. I get an internal server error upon trying to log in. Here is the trace:
app_1 | Error
app_1 | at /usr/src/app/node_modules/passport-google-oauth20/lib/strategy.js:95:21
app_1 | at passBackControl (/usr/src/app/node_modules/oauth/lib/oauth2.js:132:9)

What are the most common issues with Google oAuth, I've tried just about everything and can't get it to work.
