Pro tip
Use a profess... Creating your SMTP2Go account is simple and quick. Once you've completed the signup process and logged in to your SMTP2Go account dashboard, you'll be greeted by the initial setup steps to complete before sending which include: Verifying your sender identity is essential for authorisation to send emails through your SMTP2Go account. You have two verification options: 1. Either verify your domain(s) as Sender domains (which is highly recommended for achieving the best email deliverability rates, as it ensures SPF and DKIM alignment with your domain). This differs for each email provider. Contact your email provider or IT team to ensure this is correctly set-up. or 2. Verify individual email addresses as Single sender emails under the 'Sending > Verified Senders' section. For more information, please consult the SMTP2Go Verified Senders guide. Important to note: You must use a professional email address or one associated with your own domain (addresses from services like Gmail.com, Outlook.com, Yahoo.com, etc., are not permitted). Once you have created your Verified Sender domain or email address you can add to the "From Email" field within Groupmail. An API Key is required when utilising Groupmail's Integration. This will be used to route your email from Groupmail to SMTP2Go and on to your customers. You manage API Keys from your account dashboard's "Sending > API Keys" page: To create an API Key, click the "Add API Key" button, set your desired permissions and settings, then click the "Save" button. The API Key is not editable/customisable. For API Keys, you can set an optional description, rate limit, and further settings. Once created, add your API Key to the SMTP2Go API section within Groupmail. Finally, add a Name to the Integration and a "ReplyTo Email" if required and click Save. You can also Test the integration by clicking the "Test" button in the top menu. The last step within SMTP2Go is to add your Groupmail Webhook URL. This will send all the "Event" data back to Groupmail for processing. Data such as Sent, Delivered, Opened, Clicked, Bounced etc. Groupmail will display all data within your campaign and automatically remove bounced email addresses etc. Finally, click "Save changes" to save your settings (or "Test this webhook" to check all is correct). You are now set to send email from this new account within Groupmail.
