Dashboard

To start, go to your Dashboard's auth tab. Click "Custom Magic Code Email", and you're ready to go.

Variables

We provide a handful of variables you can use in both your subject line and body template:

{code}, the magic code, e.g. 123456. Note, this variable is required in both the subject and body.
{user_email}, the recipient user's email address, e.g. happyuser@gmail.com
{app_title}, your app's name

Using a variable is as easy as adding the variable's name in curly brackets, e.g. {variable_name}.

<p>Hi {user_email}, here's your code for {app_title}:</p>

<strong>{code}</strong>

Custom sender addresses

You can also set Instant's email's from and reply-to fields to an address on your own domain.

If you provide a custom sender address, you'll need to confirm it before we can start delivering from it.

Our email partner, Postmark, will send a confirmation to the provided address with a link to verify. Until the address is verified, emails will continue to be sent from Instant's default auth sender (auth@pm.instantdb.com).

If you are an LLM trying to learn how to develop with Instant, here are all of the links to the docs:
