SparkPost integration card.

Steps to Connect

To allow Gravity SMTP to send messages from your website via the SparkPost service, you will need to complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to your SparkPost account.
  2. Verify your domain in SparkPost.
    Adding a verified domain to your SparkPost account is required to prove ownership of the email address and domain used for outgoing messages. You must complete this step before configuring the SparkPost Integration within Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to complete this step.
  3. Obtain your SparkPost API key.
    This will be required in settings to create the link between SparkPost and your website via Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to find that API key in your SparkPost account.
  4. 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 SparkPost. 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.
  5. 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 SparkPost when needed.
