The response time from Dymo API when sending an email is too long

Learn about the email sending system.

Overview

When sending emails they usually take a few seconds as they are added to a queue, connect to the client's SMTP server and send the email to the recipient.

Sometimes we need a faster response, and for this, you can easily define it with Dymo API.

It is quite simple, assuming that you are already using and have everything configured to send emails, you simply need to define a property.

Learning how to send my first email

We are talking about the waitToResponse option inside options in the Dymo API email sending function.

By default this option is set to true and will wait for the email to be sent to return a response, but you can also set it to false and it will simply return a response which will only tell the checking method if it has been able to connect and authenticate to the server, this way you can have some estimation of how the email will be sent.

However, keep in mind that if you disable the waitToResponse option, the only errors you will see will be the connection errors with your previously configured SMTP server and nothing else.

We are working to improve this system, and will update this article as soon as it becomes available!
