Features

$3

- Admin-only access to email configuration settings
- Override system email address with custom name and address
- Visual interface to manage email settings directly from Directus admin panel
- Real-time preview of current system email & overridden email

$3

- Automatic email override when sending emails through Directus
- Custom FROM address configuration stored in database
- Seamless integration with existing Directus email functionality

$3

- API endpoint (/red/env) to access limited non-sensitive variables

$3

- Module Access to Environment Variables
- tbh we only have the environment endpoint as we could not figure out how to access env variables from the module
- ... to get the __EMAIL_FROM__ environment variable
- Using an API endpoint to get this is convulted and counter-intuitive.
- Happy to get advice how we could do this differently
