Introduction

This article shows the steps required to integrate Gravity SMTP on your website with the Elastic Email service. Elastic Email is a high-performance email platform offering both marketing and transactional email solutions. With a free plan for up to 100 daily emails and affordable paid options, Elastic Email provides detailed analytics and automation tools.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Complete the Gravity SMTP Settings screen.
   Go to Gravity SMTP → Settings → Integrations and click the settings cog on the Elastic Email card. This will open a pop-up modal with all the fields required for SMTP to connect with Elastic Email. See this help guide for a description of these settings.
5. Click the “Save Changes” button.
   After saving, you will be returned to the Settings card page, and the Configured text should appear at the bottom of the Elastic Email settings card. If your settings card still shows “Not Configured,” check your settings and the steps above to ensure everything has been completed.

6. 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 Elastic Email integration. This will show Elastic Email as Connected. You can then test using the Gravity SMTP “Send a Test” Tool.
