Wevo iPaaS SMTP connector
The SMTP connector allows for emails to be sent from a specified SMTP server. With this connector, you can send basic emails or complex emails, such as those including HTML contents or Base64-encoded attachments.
To install this connector, the following necessary information is required:
-
SMTP Host: The address to access the SMTP server. It could be a DNS address (host name), or an IP address.
-
SMTP Port: The port that will be used to secure the connection with the SMTP Host. The default is 587, but it could vary depending on the cloud environment or on your infrastructure.
-
Email: You must provide the email address that will be used for the connection test. Usually a "master" email address is used, with the specific necessary permissions to send the email.
-
Password: The password to access the "master" email provided in the field above.
Usage of the connector
To illustrate, let's use the SMTP server provided publicly by Google (Gmail). In this scenario, the parameters to install the connector would look like this:
Still in this example, we'll develop an integration that automatically sends emails to leads that are registered in the marketing platform RD Station (using the RD Station Marketing connector, which is also available in the Connector store). To do so, install the connectors, design the integration and map the fields. Use the lead's email address in the To field. Similarly, the contentText field could be mapped to the tags field returned by RD Station.
To see all the fields that can be used when implementing the Send Email action, you can use the mapping functionality to see a detailed breakdown, as shown in the screenshot below:
