SMTP2GO is a cloud-based email delivery service that ensures reliable inbox placement with built-in analytics and automatic failover. Offering a free plan and scalable options, SMTP2GO helps businesses send transactional and marketing emails effortlessly.
Integration Steps
To allow Gravity SMTP to send messages from your website via the SMTP2GO service, you will need to complete the following steps:
- Create a SMTP2GO account.
- Authenticate a domain as a Verified Sender in SMTP2GO.
Adding a verified sender to your SMTP2GO account is required to prove ownership of the email address and domain used for outgoing messages. You must complete this step before configuring the SMTP2GO Integration within Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to complete this step. - Obtain your SMTP2GO API key.
This will be required in the settings to create the link between SMTP2GO and your website via Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to find that API key in your SMTP2GO account. - Complete the Gravity SMTP Settings screen.
Go to Gravity SMTP → Settings → Integrations and click the settings cog on the SMTP2GO card. This will open a pop-up modal with all the fields required for SMTP to connect with SMTP2GO. See this help guide for a description of these settings. - Click the “Save Changes” button.
After saving, you will be returned to the Settings card page, and the Configured text will appear at the bottom of the SMTP2GO settings card. If your settings card shows “Not Configured,” check your settings and the steps above to ensure everything has been completed.
- Enable the integration using the on-off toggle (if you are ready to use it).
Click the toggle on the settings card to turn on SMTP2GO integration. This will show SMTP2GO as Connected. You can then test using the Gravity SMTP “Send a Test” Tool.
