To use your own email delivery account, connect a provider and give Spotzee its credentials. Spotzee routes your sends through that account. The supported options are SMTP, SendGrid, Mailgun, and Amazon SES.
Provider configuration lives under Settings → Integrations and requires the project admin role. You can add more than one provider; select the one to use when configuring each campaign. Journey sends use that campaign’s provider.

​
Pick a provider

Each provider takes a different credential shape: If you’re unsure, start with SMTP for an existing relay, or SendGrid if you’re starting fresh and want the simplest credential.

​
Configure your provider

Use SMTP when you have a third-party relay or an in-house mail server. Spotzee speaks any standard SMTP server.
1

Add a new email provider

In Settings → Integrations, add a new email provider and pick SMTP.
2

Enter connection details

Fill in the credentials your relay gave you:
  • Host. The SMTP server hostname.
  • Port. Typically 587 for STARTTLS or 465 for SSL.
  • Protocol. Pick starttls (the default), ssl, or tls.
  • Username and Password.
  • Auth type (optional). Defaults to AUTO. Switch to LOGIN or PLAIN only if your server requires it.
  • Custom headers (optional). Add tracking headers your downstream analytics needs.
3

Save and test

Save the provider, then use Test connection (see Test the connection below).

​
Test the connection

Each listed email provider supports Test connection. Run it before you point real campaigns at the provider.
1

Open the provider you just saved

In Settings → Integrations, open the provider’s row.
2

Test the connection

Choose Test connection in the provider form.
3

Check the result

A successful test confirms the provider connection. It does not verify inbox delivery or your domain’s DNS authentication. A failed test shows an error to investigate.

​
Set the default provider

You can mark an email provider as the default in Settings → Integrations. When you create a campaign, check its selected provider before sending. A campaign needs an explicit provider selection. For sending domain configuration (DKIM records, link wrapping, deliverability hardening), use Settings → Domains.

​
Webhook callbacks

Spotzee uses provider-specific webhooks to receive delivery events (delivered, bounced, complained, opened, clicked). Each provider exposes its own callback URL in the setup metadata after you save the provider:
  • SendGrid: a single Webhook URL for the Event Webhook.
  • Mailgun: a Webhook URL for delivery events. Use the optional webhook signing key to verify inbound payloads.
  • Amazon SES: a Feedback URL for SNS-published events (bounces, complaints, deliveries).
SMTP doesn’t have webhook callbacks. Open and click tracking still works through Spotzee’s tracking domain regardless of provider.
