The SMTP Integration in QuickForms gives you an easy way to integrate all of your online forms with external SMTP Servers. This way, you can send email notifications and confirmation emails using different email addresses on each form. In this article, you will learn how to use this integration.

When you integrate an external SMTP server, you can:

• Create custom branding emails: Create forms for your clients or organizations and send branding emails to people who fill their forms.
• Increase reliability: Avoid your emails go to a spam filter, or get blacklisted on a spam list temporarily.
• Encrypt SMTP: You can use ssl (SMTPS) or tls (STARTTLS) encryption by specifying it as a parameter.

Set Up a Form

Forms are created through the Form Builder. You just need to drag and drop the fields your form needs.

Then, from the SMTP Integration interface you can enter the necessary information to use the SMTP server with your forms. For example, host, port, authentication fields, etc.

Now, to set up a Form follow the next steps:

1. Click on the Set Up a Form button
2. Fill the form:
   • Enter a Name to identify this configuration in the system
   • Click on Status: ON.
   • Select your Form or Forms
   • Enter the Host, Port, Encryption, Username and Password of your SMTP Email Server.
3. Save the Form.

Then, QuickForms will try to connect to the SMTP server with the provided information. An error alert will appear if the connection could not be made with a message that will help you understand what is failing. If all goes well, a success message will appear on the screen.
