Configuration

  1. Credentials Configure your SMTP credentials either by:
    • Storing them under Settings → Credentials for reuse across workflows.
    • Creating them directly within the workflow builder by selecting “Hide this connector from end-users and entering the required details (host, port, user, password).
      Disable this option if you want end users to provide their own SMTP connection at runtime.
You can use a service like imitate.email to generate sample SMTP credentials for testing.
  1. Email Content Choose one of the following message formats:
    • Plain text: Compose text and dynamically insert variables from your workflow.
    • HTML: Input custom HTML markup and variables for richer formatting.
    • Template: Use Alloy’s built-in template editor to create reusable email layouts.
  2. Preview Click Preview Email to generate a sample message using live workflow data before sending.

Usage

Use the SMTP connector to send automated emails as part of a workflow—for example, sending status reports, alerts, or customer notifications. When executed, the connector links to the configured mail server and transmits the message according to the specified content type and credentials. Always validate credentials and preview emails before deploying workflows to production to avoid delivery or formatting issues.
