SMTP Configuration

SMTP Configuration

SMTP configuration allows you to send emails from your own SMTP server instead of LetsLigo's default server.

Availability

SMTP configuration is only available with Pro and Expert plans.

Why Configure SMTP?

• Emails sent from your own domain or account
• Better deliverability
• Professional brand image
• Full control over email sending

Configuration with Mailjet (recommended)

Step 1: Create a Mailjet Account

To use Mailjet, you must first create an account:

1. Go to https://www.mailjet.com
2. Create a free account or sign in
3. Verify your email address

Step 2: Get SMTP Credentials

In your Mailjet account:

1. Go to Account Settings > SMTP & Senders
2. Note the following information:
   • API Key (public key)
   • Secret Key (secret key)

Step 3: Verify Sender

Before using Mailjet, you must verify your sender email address:

1. In Mailjet, go to Account Settings > SMTP & Senders
2. Click on "Add Sender"
3. Enter your email address
4. Verify your email by clicking on the link in the received message
5. Once verified, you can use this address as sender

Step 4: Configure in LetsLigo

Once you have your Mailjet credentials, configure them in LetsLigo:

• Sender Email: The email address verified in Mailjet
• Sender Name: Your name
• SMTP Server: in-v3.mailjet.com
• SMTP Port: 587
• Encryption: TLS
• Username: Your API Key (Mailjet public key)
• Password: Your Secret Key (Mailjet secret key)

Configuration with Gmail

Step 1: Enable Two-Step Verification

To use Gmail with SMTP, you must first enable two-step verification:

1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security
2. Enable "2-Step Verification" if not already enabled

Step 2: Create an App Password

Gmail requires a specific app password for third-party applications:

1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
2. Select "Other (Custom name)" from the dropdown menu
3. Enter a name (e.g., "LetsLigo")
4. Click "Generate"
5. Copy the 16-character password (it will only be displayed once)

Step 3: Configure in LetsLigo

Once you have your app password, configure it in LetsLigo:

• Sender Email: Your full Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Sender Name: The name that will appear as sender
• SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
• SMTP Port: 587
• Encryption: TLS
• Username: Your full Gmail address
• Password: The 16-character app password (without spaces)

Connection Test

After configuring SMTP, use the "Test Connection" button to verify everything works correctly. A test email will be sent to your email address.

Important

⚠️ For Mailjet: Make sure to use the API Key as username and the Secret Key as password. Your sender email address must be verified in Mailjet before use.

⚠️ For Gmail: Do NOT use your regular Gmail password. You must use only the generated app password. Your main Gmail password will not work with SMTP.
