I was following this for sending Gmails from Phoenix whenever someone registers an account.

I modified my user controller to this

def create(conn, %{"_action" => "registered" , "user" => user_params} = params) do 
  Swoosh.Email.new() 
  |> Swoosh.Email.to({nil ,user_params["email"]}) 
  |> Swoosh.Email.from({"outsider", "outsideemail@home.here"}) 
  |> Swoosh.Email.subject("FINALLY!") 
  |> Swoosh.Email.html_body("<h1>FINALLY!</h1>") 
  |> Swoosh.Email.text_body("FINALLY!\n") 
  |> Pento.Mailer.deliver() 

  create(conn, params, "Account created successfully!") 
end

And my config/runtime.exs (for I got a warning from console that it’s better to place it there than config/config.exs)

config :pento, Pento.Mailer, 
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.Gmail, 
  access_token: {:system, "gmail-api-access-token-from-playground"}

I don’t get an email but I get this error

from console

This is equivalent to System.get_env("gmail-api-access-token-from-playground"), do you have an environment variable by that name?

Generally system tuples are a thing of the past though.

You’d much rather use `System.get_env` calls directly in runtime.exs nowadays.

Environment variables are set in your shell (or whatever is starting elixir). It’s more of a deployment/security concern, if you are just getting started you can hard code the API key, just don’t push the code to a public repository
