Set up SMTP in Powerful Form Builder app

Email notifications will be sent from our email server [email protected] by default to your admin emails and customer emails.

If you set up SMTP, the email notification will be sent from your own email address. (optional)

The sender will be your SMTP email address, not [email protected].

What you need to do:

  • Set SMTP in the app settings

  • Apply the app settings to each form

Set SMTP in the app settings

1. Open the app > click Settings > click Custom Mail & SMTP > select one of the provider in Provider dropdown

Note:

If your email provider is not listed, you can still set up SMTP by choosing Google as a placeholder.

For example, if you're using Mailjet, select Google as the provider (this selection is just a formality), then manually enter your Mailjet SMTP details:

  • SMTP Host

  • Email Address

  • Password

  • Port

The "provider" selection won’t affect the setup — just make sure all the SMTP credentials match your email service.

2. Enter the data of SMTP config: SMTP Host, user name/email, password, port, Encryption

3. Click Save to update the settings, then send a test email to check if it works for you

If the test email is sent, it works. Remember to Save the configuration before sending test email

Apply the setting to the form

  1. Go to the Forms tab of the app, open the form you want

  2. In the form config, click Mail icon on the left side> click Admin > scroll down to Use SMTP & API > select Use SMTP & API from Settings

  3. Click Save

Then you can submit the form to see if the sender email is from your own email address.

Google SMTP
