Mailjet Setup Guide


Introduction

Sendy supports Mailjet SMTP sending service. When you send emails via Mailjet, bounces and complaints will be flagged by Sendy in the respective list(s) so that future emails will not be sent to them again.

For Sendy to send emails via Mailjet, you'll need to generate a set of SMTP credentials from your Mailjet account, then save it in your desired brand's settings in Sendy.

  1. If you've just signed up for Mailjet, click the Get started button in the Developer box.

  2. Visit the Configuration page in your Mailjet account. Or go to 'Account settings (click your name at the top right) > Senders & Domains > SMTP and SEND API Settings'.

  3. Click the Retrieve your API credentials button.

  4. Click the Generate Secret Key button.

  5. Copy your 'API Key' and 'Secret Key'.

  6. Edit your brand settings, under 'SMTP settings', select 'Mailjet' from the drop down menu. Then paste in your 'API Key' and 'Secret Key' into the 'Username' and 'Password' fields respectively and save.

Before you can use any 'From email' to send emails via Mailjet, you need to validate either the email or its domain to prove that you own the email address.

  1. Visit the Sender domains & addresses page in your Mailjet account. Or go to 'Account settings (click your name at the top right) > Senders & Domains > SMTP and SEND API Settings'.

  2. In the following screen, you can either choose to validate a domain or just the email address. Choose the one you want and follow the on-screen instructions.

    To improve your chances of inboxing, you may want to setup SPF & DKIM Authentication.

Set up a webhook so that Mailjet can notify Sendy of any 'bounce' or 'complaint' event.

  1. Visit the Event API page in your Mailjet account. Or go to 'Account settings (click your name at the top right) > REST API > Event notifications (webhooks).

  2. Check the boxes Bounced, Spam and Unsub and paste the following URL into all 3 text fields. Also check the 'Group events' checkboxes for all 3 events as well.

    https://your.sendy.installation.url/includes/campaigns/webhooks/mailjet/webhook.php

    Replace https://your.sendy.installation.url with your Sendy installation URL.

  3. Lastly, click the Save button at the bottom.

Done! Your Sendy's brand is hooked up with Mailjet.
