¶ How to Get Started with SMTP
You can also send transactional emails from your service using SMTP. For example, you can send users emails about abandoned carts, order shipping updates, order confirmation emails, and other notifications.
¶ Connection Data
Data for configuring email transmission:
- SMTP Server: smtp.emailmassivo.com
- SMTP Port: 465
- Encryption Type: secure TLS/SSL connection
To get your login and password, follow the instructions below.
¶ Creating SMTP Connection
To set up email transmission, you need to configure your domain and add a sender on the domain.
To create a connection, go to the "API and SMTP" → "SMTP" → "Create Connection" section.
Enter a name and select a sender, then click "Next".
For SMTP connection, you will need a login and password. To get your login and password, go to the card by clicking on the name of the desired connected SMTP and copy the data. If necessary, you can generate a new password.
Additional data for configuring email transmission:
- SMTP Server: smtp.emailmassivo.com

- Encryption Type: secure TLS/SSL connection
¶ Balance Deduction and Pricing
You can view API+SMTP pricing and purchase a plan in your account on the "Pricing" page. Two plan options are available for selection.
Plan cost depends on the number of emails.
When sending emails via SMTP, a separate email is created for each recipient, and one send is deducted from your balance for each recipient, including copies.
¶ Send Statistics
To view statistics for connected SMTP, go to the "API and SMTP" → "SMTP" section and select the desired SMTP connection.
On the statistics page, you can filter transactional emails by time period.
In the "Send History" section, you can also filter transactional emails by time period and status.
On the page with connected SMTP, as well as in each individual connection section, you can view the current connection status, which can be: Active, Blocked, or Not Activated.

¶ What to Do If Connection Is Blocked
A connection may be blocked due to exceeding the send limit to non-existent mailboxes or mailboxes whose servers/services reject email receipt.
If this happens, you need to contact support or write to the support chat on the website in the dashboard. Our specialists will check the reason for the connection block and help you fix the situation.
