Mailings
EVA can send e-mails in various situations; invoices for customer transactions, status updates for online orders, user account password resets or product upload confirmations are all examples of e-mails EVA can provide. In order for EVA to send e-mails, you can either use our default integration with Mailgun or configure settings to connect to an SMTP server.
Direct Mailgun integration
EVA has a direct integration with Mailgun. This is the preferred way of sending e-mail in EVA, due to the good integration and stable experience.
SMTP
SMTP stands for simple mail transfer protocol. SMTP needs to be provided by an external service provider, the corresponding credentials can then be configured in EVA in the admin under Configuration → Settings. SMTP supports virtually every provider.
We strongly advise to use an SMTP server with an SSL connection, as a lot of customer data will be sent over this connection. EVA offers support for a default SMTP connection with default SSL certificates.
