An email gateway is the email service Easify uses to send emails. In addition to the Easify Email Sender, you can connect an external email gateway and use your own email provider to send emails through Easify.
Easify provides the following email gateway options:
Easify Email Sender
Mailjet
Mailgun
SendGrid
Amazon SES
Mailtrap
Gmail
Emailit
Yahoo
Outlook
Easify Email Sender is Easify's own email sending option. The other options allow you to connect an external email provider.
The setup requirements vary depending on the gateway you select. Some providers require SMTP credentials, authentication details, or additional security settings.
Before adding an external email gateway:
Make sure you have access to the email account or email service you want to connect.
Have the required SMTP credentials or authentication details available.
Check whether your email provider requires additional security settings, such as an App Password.
Go to Email > Email Senders.
Click Add Email Sender.
Under Select Gateway, select the external email gateway you want to connect.
Enter the required Sender Details for the selected gateway.
Click Add Sender.
The available Sender Details may vary depending on the selected gateway.
When you add an email sender, you first select the Gateway that you want to use. The Sender Details section contains the information required to connect your email account to the selected gateway.
Depending on the gateway, these details may include:
Host
Port Number
Username
Password
Encryption
From Name
From Email
Email Signature
Email Footer
The following example shows how to connect Gmail as an external email gateway in Easify.
Gmail may require an App Password when connecting through SMTP.
Sign in to your Google Account.
Go to Security.
Make sure 2-Step Verification is enabled.
Open App Passwords.
Create an App Password.
Copy the generated password.
You will use this App Password as the Password when configuring Gmail in Easify.
Note: Google App Passwords may not be available for some work or school accounts, accounts using Advanced Protection, or accounts where 2-Step Verification is configured only with security keys.
Go to Email → Email Senders.
Click Add Email Sender.
Under Gateway, select Gmail.
Enter the following Sender Details:
Field | Gmail Setting |
Host | |
Port Number | 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL |
Username | Your full Gmail address |
Password | Your Google App Password |
Encryption | Select the encryption method that matches the port |
From Name | The name you want recipients to see |
From Email | Your Gmail address |
Enable Email Signature or Email Footer, if required.
Click Add Sender.
Your Gmail account will be added as an email sender in Easify.
Once the external gateway and sender details are configured, you can select the email sender when using Easify's email features, such as Quick Emails and Email Campaigns.
The authentication, sending limits, and other requirements of the selected email gateway continue to apply when sending emails through Easify.
If you cannot add an external email gateway:
Check that the Host and Port Number are correct for your email provider.
Make sure your Username and Password are entered correctly.
Confirm that the selected Encryption matches your email provider's requirements.
Check whether your email provider requires additional security or authentication settings.
For Gmail, use a Google App Password when required instead of your regular Google Account password.
