You can use the Mailgun provider to send transactional emails to your customers using the Novu Platform with a single API to create multi-channel experiences.

​

Getting Started

To use the Mailgun provider in the email channel, you will need to create a Mailgun account and add your API key and domain name to the Mailgun integration on the Novu platform.

​

Generating an API Key

To generate a new API key in Mailgun, you can follow these steps:

Adding a new domain name

Mailgun recommends that you add a subdomain as a domain name. To do so:
