Integration Steps
To allow Gravity SMTP to send messages from your website via the Elastic Email service, you will need to complete the following steps:
- Login to your Elastic Email account.
When signing up, make sure to choose the Email API plan, as this is required for Gravity SMTP Integration. - Verify your domain in Elastic Email.
Adding a verified domain to your Elastic Email account is required to prove ownership of the email address and domain used for outgoing messages. You must complete this step before configuring the Elastic Email Integration within Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to complete this step. - Obtain your Elastic Email API key.
This will be required in settings to create the link between Elastic Email and your website via Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to find that API key in your Elastic Email account. - Complete the Gravity SMTP Settings screen.
Go to Gravity SMTP → Settings → Integrations and click the + icon. From the list of available integrations, search and select Elastic Email. This will add it to your integrations and display its settings fields, which you’ll need to complete to finish setup. See this help guide for a description of these settings. - Click the “Save Changes” button.
After saving, you’ll return to the Settings card page, where the new integration card will appear in the list. You can then test using the Gravity SMTP “Send a Test” Tool.
Once the integration is set up, it will be ready for use. You can verify the connection with a test email and send it through Elastic Email when needed.
