Log in to Mailgun


Make sure the domain is set up for US and there's a green checkmark next to the domain.




To create a new Mailgun API Key:


  1. In the top-right corner of the Mailgun Control Panel, click your Profile Menu to expand the drop-down list of options.

  2. Next, click the API Security option.

  3. To create the new key, click the Add new key button.

  4. Finally, type a description and click the Create Key button in the pop-up modal to confirm the creation of the new Mailgun API Key.



Go to the platform's Email services page:


Domain Service tab:

  • Each new location will use the settings based on this configured Mailgun API key on the Domain service tab. 
  • We will also use it to send the email verification code.

Select Mailgun as the SMTP Provider.


Paste the API Key and select the Domain here, click save.



Location Settings:

  • You can configure each location with your client's own Mailgun or your Mailgun.
  • You can use the same Mailgun API and the same domain/subdomain for multiple locations.
  • You can use the same Mailgun API and different domains/subdomains for multiple locations.
  • You can use different Mailgun API and domain/subdomain for multiple locations.
  • You can also set up a unique domain/subdomain for each location to capture cold inbound emails. 


Click on the Edit ✏️ icon.



Paste the Mailgun API key here and select the domain you configured from the dropdown, Click Save.


If the domain you set up does not show up from the dropdown:

  1. Please set up the domain or subdomain under US, not EU.

  2. Check if the Mailgun account has added allowed IP in Mailgun. If so, we are not able to pull it. Please remove all the IP whitelist; you can add it back later on.



Click Save.


You can toggle on Email Validation for the location. Email validation is a paid service and is charged at $0.012 per email.
