Transactional Email

How your website sends you notifications

Last Update a year ago

Your website needs to send email. Sounds odd, but it is the website that sends out password reset emails and form submission notifications. These are called "transactional emails".


Brevo has a free tier that supports sending up to 300 emails per day. We don't need nearly this many so it's perfect for what we need.

Here are the steps:


1. Go to brevo.com and sign up. https://onboarding.brevo.com/account/register

2. Verify your email address. Brevo sends you an email with a link to click.

3. Brevo will take you through the steps to get started... Name, Company Name etc..

4. They will ask for your Mobile number and will send a 6 digit code for you to verify.

5. Select the Free version of brevo. Click on "Continue with Free plan"

6. Click on your name in the top right to open the dropdown menu and choose SMTP & API

7. Click the black button that reads "Generate a new SMTP key

8. Name it something like "websitekey" and click Generate

9. Copy this key. There's an icon on the right side of the long key. Click that and then press OK

10. Paste this code into the body of an email and send it to us. Be sure to include the email you used to sign up with as that is your "sending" email address.

We will take it from there.
