# Custom SMTP

Statuspal supports integration with third-party SMTP servers, allowing you to send email notifications through your own mail infrastructure.

## Setup

1. In your status page's admin sidebar, click **Integrations**, then **New integration**.
2. Select **SMTP** from the service dropdown.\

3. Fill in your SMTP server details:
   * **Relay** — Your SMTP hostname (e.g. `smtp.gmail.com` or `smtp.yourcompany.com`).
   * Username, password, port, and any other required fields.
4. Click **Create**.

## Verify the integration

Once created, go to **Subscriptions** and click **Send test email**. Send yourself a test — if it arrives correctly, your SMTP integration is working. You can also check your SMTP server logs to confirm traffic is routing through it.
