Mail Providers
Connect an email provider to automatically send certificates at scale using Smart Certificates.
You can choose between using your own Gmail accounts or integrating with powerful third-party email services for higher deliverability and volume.
Each provider requires basic authentication credentials and a verified sender identity to ensure secure and reliable email delivery.
Gmail Account Pool
A simple and cost-effective way to send emails by rotating multiple Gmail accounts without using external services.
The Gmail Account Pool allows you to connect multiple Google accounts to send certificates. This is an ideal way to scale your sending volume without using a paid third-party service.
What you need
- One or more personal or Google Workspace accounts.
- Access to authorize the accounts via Google OAuth.
Steps
1. Add a Gmail Account
- In the Gmail Account Pool section, enter the Gmail address you want to add.

2. Authorize via Google
- A Google sign-in window will appear. Select your account and grant the necessary permissions for Smart Certificates to send emails on your behalf.
- Once authorized, the account will appear under Connected Accounts.
3. Scaling your Pool
- You can add multiple accounts to the pool. The system will automatically rotate between these accounts to bypass daily sending limits (typically 500–2,000 emails per day depending on your Google account type).
💡 Tip: Ensure all connected accounts remain authenticated. If you change your Google password, you will need to re-connect the account to the pool.
