Setup MailGun for Sending Emails from Your Website

We commonly need to send email from the website we build to notify our clients of form submissions or other activity on the website.

We currently prefer using MailGun because they provide a great service at low cost, or sometimes even completely free depending on the daily volume.

Since we will need to send emails from your application on your behalf, you will need to set up a MailGun account. You can create your account at https://www.mailgun.com/pricing/ and click "Try for Free"

Once you've set up the account and logged in, navigate towards the top-right of the page next to your username, click the down-arrow, and then select the Users option. Alternatively, you can use this direct link: https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/users

Click on the green Invite new user button to enter the new user’s information (Email Address, Name, and Role). 

Use the email address we sent you in the ticket and select the “Admin” for the role.

Save your changes by clicking the Invite user button.

Once we have your invite, we should be able to proceed with setting up your account and getting configured on your site. If we have access to your Cloudflare account, we should be good to go.

If we do not have access to your DNS or Cloudflare, we will work with you on how to get the proper DNS records installed.
