Overview
Learn the process of configuring email providers with Novu
Novu can be used to deliver email messages to your customers using a unified delivery API. You can easily integrate your favorite email provider using the built-in integration store.
Configuring email providers
When creating an email provider integration you will be asked to provide additional fields alongside the provider-specific credentials:
- Sender name - Will be displayed as the sender of the message
- From email address - Emails sent using Novu will be sent using this address
For some email providers including SendGrid you will have to authenticate the From email address to make sure you will send email messages using an authorized address.
Sending Email Overrides
The overrides field supports an email property. The email overrides field have properties like to
, from
, senderName
etc
to
field in the email overrides with the subscriber email. It DOES NOT REPLACE IT.Sending Email attachments
You can easily send attachments with the Novu API by passing the attachments array when triggering an Email based workflow. Attachment file can either be in the buffer
or base64
format.
Using different email integration
In Novu integration store, multiple email channel type provider integrations can be active at the same time. But only one provider integration can be primary at a time. This primary integration will be used as a provider to deliver the email by default. If you want to use a different active provider integration then you can use the integrationIdentifier
email overrides field.
If there are 4 active email integrations with these identifiers:-
- sendgrid-abcdef
- sendgrid-ghijkl
- brevo-abcdef
- mailersend-abcdef
Here, if sendgrid-abcdef
is primary integration and you want to use brevo-abcdef
with this trigger then you can use integrationIdentifier
email overrides field as below:-
