Email provider
FoxIDs supports sending email with SendGrid and SMTP. Both can be configured as an email provider in each track or generally in the FoxIDs site configuration.
FoxIDs sends emails to the users for e.g., account verification and password reset.
SendGrid
You can either create Sendgrid in Azure or directly on Sendgrid, there are more free emails in an Azure managed Sendgrid.
Remember to setup up domain authentication in Sendgrid for the from email.

The email provider can be configured in each track, where the from email address is required.
If an email provider is configured in the track, it is used instead of any general configured email provider.
