Custom SMTP Server

You can use this integration to send bulk emails using your own email provider. Ask your email service provider for information regarding the SMTP settings.

Cost

In most cases there is no cost for sending emails via your own email provider.

Limitations

Remember: Most email providers who deal with transactional emails restricts on using their services to send bulk emails. You may be better off using other integrations on our list.
If you still want to send emails via your email provider please keep note of the email limits set up by your provider. These limits may include:
  1. Email Rate: Number of emails that you can send per second
  2. Email Limit: Maximum number of emails you can send per hour (or day)
These limits can be programmed in this integration interface.
Restriction: Gmail and other online email programs are not very suitable for sending bulk emails via SMTP:
  • They may limit the number of emails you can send through their system.
  • Your Smtp parameters will not work unless you use Oauth authentication, which is not supported in the current integration.
