# Email settings

# Email Settings

## Overview

The **Email Settings** page is used to configure how your platform sends outgoing emails. Instead of traditional SMTP-based email delivery, the platform uses modern **email APIs** for better reliability, scalability, and deliverability.

This page allows you to connect an email service provider and define the sender details used across the platform.

## Important Note

The platform does **not support SMTP-based email configuration**. Only API-based email providers are supported.

This ensures:

* better email delivery rates
* improved performance
* reduced configuration complexity
* compatibility with modern email infrastructure

***

## Supported Providers

You can choose from multiple popular email API providers such as:

* SendGrid
* Mailgun
* Brevo (Sendinblue)
* Postmark
* AWS SES
* Zepto

You can select any one provider based on your preference and configure it using the API key provided by that service.

## Why API-Based Email

Using API-based email services is recommended because it provides:

* faster email delivery
* better tracking and analytics
* improved spam handling
* higher reliability compared to SMTP

This approach ensures that your platform emails reach users consistently.

***

## What Emails Are Sent

The configured email provider is used for all system-generated emails, including:

* user registration and OTP verification emails
* subscription confirmation emails
* subscription expiry and reminder emails
* transaction-related emails
* system notifications and alerts

All these emails depend on proper configuration of this page.

***

## Configuration Requirement

To enable email functionality, you must:

* select an email provider
* add the API key from your provider
* define sender details such as name and email

Once configured, the platform will use these settings for all outgoing emails.

***

## What Happens If Not Configured

If email settings are not configured:

* OTP emails will not be delivered
* users may not be able to complete registration
* subscription and transaction emails will fail
* system notifications will not reach users

This can directly impact platform usability and user experience.
