What is an SMTP and why would I need to set up one?

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and it is an internet standard for email transmission. In simpler terms, when you send an email, the SMTP acts like a mailman. It takes your emails, sorts them, and sends them to the address you desire.

Connecting an SMTP with your account will allow you to create and send emails to your clients via the automations feature and/or via our in-house autoresponder Follow-Up Funnels.

 

What features will become available when connecting an SMTP and how many SMTPs can I connect with each plan?

The following ClickFunnels native features will become available upon connecting an SMTP with your ClickFunnels account:

 

  • As a ClickFunnels Basic user, you will be able to integrate one SMTP service with your account to create, edit, and send emails via:
