SMTP Configuration Guidelines for Email Automation

SMTP configuration allows you to send automated emails from your own email address instead of a default system email. This helps maintain your brand identity and improves email deliverability.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard method used to send emails between servers.

When should you use SMTP?

You should configure SMTP if:

• You want emails to be sent from your own business email address

• You need better control over email delivery

• You want consistent branding in customer communication

Required Details for SMTP Configuration

• SMTP Server Address – The outgoing mail server provided by your email service.

• SMTP Port – Typically 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL).

• Email Address (Username) – The email ID used for sending emails.

• Password / App-Specific Password – Your email password or a generated app password (recommended for security).
  

Common SMTP Settings for Popular Providers:

• Outlook / Hotmail: smtp.office365.com (Port 587).

• Yahoo Mail: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Port 587).

• iCloud Mail: smtp.mail.me.com (Port 587).
  

For a smooth and secure setup, we recommend checking your email provider’s official documentation for the exact steps. Some providers may require extra settings, like enabling SMTP access or creating an app-specific password. Once everything is set up correctly, you’ll be able to send automated emails reliably, with full control and a professional look.
