There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

  • On your Wiresk’s Dashboard, select your Group.
  • On the left panel, go to “My apps” and select create button
  • Search “SMTP2GO” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and choose the SMTP2GO icon.

  • Verified Sender: Before saving your SMTP2GO Connection or sending any email with Wiresk, you must add a verified sender (email address or domain) in your SMTP2GO account.
  • Active API Key: The Connection requires a valid SMTP2GO API Key with the necessary permissions.
  • Plan Requirements: Some features, such as Send SMS, are only available on Paid Plans.
  • Domain Authentication Recommended: For better deliverability and to avoid spam filtering, authenticate your sending domain in SMTP2GO.

Where to Verify Senders:
Go to your SMTP2GO dashboard → Sending > Verified Senders. From there, you can add either:

  • A single email address (Single Sender Verification), or
  • An entire domain (Domain Authentication – recommended).
