Can I use Gmail SMTP with BotSailor?
Yes, you can use Gmail SMTP, but it’s recommended to use an App Password instead of your main Gmail password. However, Gmail is not ideal for bulk or marketing emails — use a professional SMTP provider like Zoho, Brevo, Mailgun, or your hosting SMTP for better results.
What should I do if the SMTP connection fails?
Check your SMTP credentials carefully:
Do I need to verify my domain before using SMTP?
While BotSailor doesn’t force domain verification, it’s highly recommended to verify your domain and configure SPF & DKIM records to improve deliverability and avoid spam issues.
Can I send bulk email campaigns through this SMTP integration?
BotSailor’s SMTP integration is designed for automated 1-to-1 transactional emails via chatbot flows. For large-scale email campaigns, use proper email marketing tools or a bulk SMTP service that supports high-volume sending.
