SendGrid on Heroku fails
ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3.2
Solution
I had tried to set my password with the command:
heroku config:add SENDGRID_PASSWORD=my-new-password
But it turns out this only changes what heroku has stored as your password, it doesn't actually change your password. You also cannot retrieve your password after doing this.
What I had to do was remove and re-add the sendgrid add on.
Problem
I setup send grid starter for my heroku app. I put this in my config/environment.rb: ``` ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :user_name => ENV["SENDGRID_USERNAME"], :password => ENV["SENDGRID_PASSWORD"], :domain => "my-sites-domain.com", :address => "smtp.sendgrid.net", :port => 587, :authentication => :plain, :enable_starttls_auto => true } ``` I create this class models/notifier.rb: ``` class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base def notify() mail( :to => "my-email@gmail.com", :subject => "New Website Contact", :body => "body", :message => "message", :from => "website@my-sites-domain.com" ) end end ``` I put this in another controller to send the email: ``` def contact Notifier.notify().deliver redirect_to("/", :notice => "We Have Received Your Request And Will Contact You Soon.") end ``` When I deploy and try to send an email I get this error: Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (535 Authentication failed: Bad username / password I have setup send grid completely and it says I am ready to send emails. I also ran `heroku config --long` to get the actual password and user name and hard coded them and that still gave me the same error.
