Emails

​

Templates

Templates lets you customize the emails your users receive during authentication flows. What are Templates? Templates is part of the Emails section in OnSpace Cloud. It allows you to manage the email content used in common authentication scenarios, such as sign-up confirmation, password reset, magic link login, and email change verification. Instead of relying on generic system copy, you can tailor these emails to better match your product’s tone and user experience. Available Templates You can manage templates for the following authentication events:

• Confirm sign up

Sent when a user signs up and needs to confirm their email address.

• Invite user

Sent when inviting a new user to join your app or workspace.

• Magic link

Sent when a user signs in using a one-time login link.

• Change email address

Sent when a user updates their email and needs to verify the new address.

• Reset password

Sent when a user requests a password reset.

• Reauthentication

Sent when a user needs to verify their identity again before completing a sensitive action. Why use Templates? Customizing your authentication emails helps you create a more polished and trustworthy user experience. Better user clarity Users can more easily understand why they received an email and what they need to do next. Stronger brand consistency Your authentication emails can match your product’s tone, wording, and overall brand experience. Smoother onboarding and login flows Clearer emails can reduce confusion during sign-up, login, password reset, and account recovery. How it works When a user triggers an authentication action, OnSpace automatically uses the matching email template for that flow. For example:

• A new user signs up → the Confirm sign up template is used
• A user requests a password reset → the Reset password template is used
• A user chooses passwordless login → the Magic link template is used

This makes Templates the central place to manage the email copy used across your authentication system. Best practices To create effective authentication emails:

• Keep the message short and action-oriented
• Make the next step obvious
• Use wording that matches your app
• Add a security reminder for sensitive actions
• Avoid overly promotional language in authentication emails

​

SMTP Settings

SMTP Settings lets you configure a custom email provider for sending authentication emails from your app. What are SMTP Settings? SMTP Settings is part of the Emails section in OnSpace Cloud. It allows you to connect your own SMTP provider so authentication emails can be sent through your preferred email service instead of relying on the default built-in mail service. This is especially useful for production apps that need more reliable delivery, better sender control, and a more professional email experience. Why use SMTP Settings? Using custom SMTP gives you more control over how your authentication emails are delivered. More reliable delivery Production apps often need a dedicated email provider to ensure emails are sent consistently and arrive on time. Better sender control You can send emails from your own domain or preferred sender address, which helps create a more professional and trustworthy user experience. Production-ready setup Custom SMTP is recommended for live apps that expect real user traffic or higher email volume. How it works Once SMTP is configured, OnSpace uses your custom email provider to send authentication emails triggered by your app. These may include emails for flows such as:

• Sign-up confirmation
• Password reset
• Magic link login
• Email change verification
• Reauthentication

This means SMTP Settings controls how your authentication emails are sent, while Templates controls what those emails say. When should you use it? SMTP Settings is recommended when:

• You are preparing your app for production
• You want to send emails from your own domain
• You need more reliable email delivery
• You want greater control over your email infrastructure

For testing or low-volume usage, the built-in email service may be enough. For production use, custom SMTP is the recommended setup. Best practices To set up SMTP successfully:

• Use a trusted email provider
• Make sure your sender address is valid
• Use credentials created specifically for SMTP access
• Test your setup before going live
• Pair SMTP with customized email templates for a better user experience

Secrets Management

OnSpace Secrets Management provides a robust and secure way to handle your application’s sensitive environment variables, keeping them safe from exposure and simplifying their integration. How It Works

1. Centralized Secure Storage: Store critical credentials like API keys, tokens, and database passwords in a dedicated, encrypted environment. Your secrets are protected with robust encryption both when they are saved (at rest) and when they are being used (in transit).
2. Intelligent On-Demand Access: When an OnSpace feature or an Edge Function in your project requires a secret, our platform automatically detects this need. It then securely prompts you via a safe user interface to provide the necessary information, ensuring you maintain control.
3. Automatic & Secure Injection: Once configured, your secrets are never directly part of your codebase. Instead, OnSpace automatically and securely injects them into your Edge Functions and integrated services exactly when they are needed for execution, abstracting away sensitive details.
4. Eliminate Hardcoding Risks: This entire process prevents the dangerous practice of hardcoding sensitive data into your application. It acts as a critical barrier against accidental exposure in your source code, version control, or logs.
