Send emails with SMTP

Send emails via SMTP
Overview

The SMTP integration lets Jet Admin send email through a mail server you already control, instead of routing through a third-party email API. It's a fit when you need to send from your own domain, meet a specific compliance requirement, or simply prefer to keep email infrastructure in-house.

Once connected, emails sent through SMTP still respect Jet Admin's role-based access and approval steps, and every send is recorded in the audit log. That keeps custom email sending just as governed as any other action in your app.
