Connecting SMTP to Movermate
Connect your own SMTP server so Movermate can send emails — notifications, confirmations, and automated customer communications — directly from your own domain. This works with any email provider, including Gmail, Outlook, and custom mail servers, and doesn't require OAuth or third-party API keys.
Before you start
Have the following details ready from your email provider:
SMTP host (e.g.
smtp.gmail.com)SMTP port (587, 465, or 25)
Username (usually your full email address)
Password (your account password or an app-specific password, depending on your provider)
Sender name and sender email you want customers to see
Tip: Most providers require an app password rather than your regular login password when connecting through SMTP, especially if two-factor authentication is enabled. Check your provider's documentation if you're unsure.
Steps to connect
1. Open Integrations
From the Movermate sidebar, go to Integrations. Scroll to find the SMTP card, which is labeled "Connect your own SMTP server to send emails."
2. Enable the SMTP integration
Toggle the switch on the SMTP card to open the connection form.
3. Enter your SMTP host
In the Connect SMTP to Movermate dialog, enter your provider's SMTP host under SMTP Host (for example, smtp.gmail.com).
4. Select your SMTP port
Choose the appropriate port from the SMTP Port dropdown:
587 (STARTTLS – Recommended)
465 (SSL/TLS)
25 (Unencrypted)
Port 587 with STARTTLS is recommended for most providers.
5. Enter your username and password
Username: your full email address (e.g.
[email protected])Password: your SMTP password or app password. Use the eye icon to show/hide the field while typing.
6. Choose an encryption method
Set Encryption to match your selected port:
SSL/TLS — typically used with port 465
STARTTLS / None — typically used with port 587 or 25
7. Set your sender details
Sender Name: the name recipients will see (e.g. your company name)
Sender Email: the email address messages will be sent from
8. Connect
Click Connect SMTP to save your settings. Once connected, the toggle on the SMTP card in Integrations will turn on, confirming the integration is active.
