Distribute Leads Using Your Own SMTP Using Email Notification Node

Introduction

Watch this video to setup as many SMTP email servers as you want. And, then add as many Email Notification Nodes into your decision tree as you want.

When Using Google or G-Suite…

You can use emails associated with domains used with GSuite – you can’t use GSuite as your SMTP.

31st AUGUST 2020: DUE TO CONTRADICTORY REQUIREMENTS BY GOOGLE AND UNREASONABLE INCREASED APP VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS BY GOOGLE, GMAIL or GSUITE WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED AS AN SMTP.

Yes, you can send email from a domain you are using with Gsuite?

Absolutely, you can. You can use any existing or new email address on any domain you own domain including the one you’re using with Gsuite. You can also create a new email address specifically for use in a LeadsHook Email Notifications node.

You can not use your existing Gmail or Gsuite accounts because of onerous security requirements imposed by Google by requiring apps like LeadsHook to pay $8000 to $75000 for verification…

“Depending on the size and complexity of your app, the cost for the third-party assessment might vary from $8,000 to $75,000”

We have going back and forth for months to get LeadsHook verified. We have decided to not support email notifications through Gmail or Gsuite because it’s not needed and there are plenty of other much easier and cheaper solutions.

SendGrid

Step 1: In SendGrid, go to Email API > Integration Guide and select “Integrate using our Web API or SMTP Relay.”

Step 2: Under Activity, please make sure to create a sender identity.

Step 3: In LeadsHook, use the following settings shown below. Use your SendGrid API key in the Password field and the sender identity email you created under the Email field. You can give it any Name you like.

How to Create a Subject Line with Custom Fields

If the leads you send have the same subject line, then some email clients will lump all of your emails in ONE thread.

You can use this which contains custom fields so the lead id will contain a new number for each lead.

[{_c_dt}] New Lead ({lead_id})

{_c_dt}: Decision Tree Title

{lead_id}: Lead ID

Deleting SMTP settings

Take note, that you will need to disable the node that is currently using the SMTP setting before you can delete the SMTP itself.

You can do this by deleting the node or simply removing the SMTP settings from the node that is using it and republish the Decision Tree again.
