Multiple SMTP Provider
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Multiple SMTP Provider feature, including its benefits, use cases, and detailed configuration steps to help you implement it effectively.
By default, LoginRadius allows you to configure a single SMTP Provider under Console > Branding > Email-SMS Provider, and all outgoing emails are sent using this provider.
Key Features
- Multiple SMTP Provider Configuration: Configure more than one SMTP provider within your LoginRadius account, giving you flexibility in managing email delivery.
- Template-Level Provider Selection: Assign specific SMTP providers to individual email templates, ensuring that the right provider is used for the right type of communication.
Business Use Cases
The Multiple SMTP Provider feature is useful for various business scenarios, including:
- Communication Types: Separate transactional, marketing, and notification emails by using specialized providers for each type.
- Brand Management: Use different SMTP providers for separate brands under the same account.
- Departmental Control: Route emails through unique providers for different departments or teams.
