How to configure SMTP Integration

For a Business to be able to send marketing communications the Business User must enable SMTP Integration under Platform → Integrations and provide their SMTP Service Settings.

If the Business is not registered with an active SMTP Service then the Business User can use their existing Gmail, outlook or other email client account (if applicable) as a SMPT Service to send emails to their customers.
