# Mail API Setup

* If you set up mail with API configuration, the email notification will be sent from your own email address.
* If you do not configure this option, email notifications will be sent from our email server ([no-reply@globosoftware.net](mailto:no-reply@powerfulform.com)) by default

### 🛠️ How to Set Up a Mail API Provider

1\. Open the app >  click **Settings**

2\. Under **Mail SMTP & API**, open the **Provider** dropdown > Choose the provider you want to use (e.g., Sendinblue, SendGrid, Mailgun, Elastic Email, Zoho)

3\. Enter the information need of your account. 

**For example**: enter API key of your **Sendinblue** account.

5. Send a test email to check if it works for you. If the test succeeds → your Mail API is ready.

will all be sent directly through your Mail API provider.

### ❓ FAQs

#### **1- Why I can not send test email?**&#x20;

Answer: It means email API config still does not work. \
Please double-check the following:

* user name&#x20;
* API key of the account&#x20;

Or contact our team at <support@powerfulform.com> so we can help you check the error log.

#### **2- My provider isn’t listed. Can I still connect it?**

If the provider supports **SMTP**, use the SMTP setup instead.\
API support is only available for providers listed in the dropdown.

#### **3-Does using a Mail API affect Shopify’s emails?**

No.\
This only affects emails sent from **Powerful Form Builder**, not Shopify’s own notification system.

#### **4- Can I change the "From name" or "From email"?**

Yes — as long as the email is *verified* with your email provider.
