Peikly Email Setup Guide #

Peikly email setup allows you to send campaigns and manage email conversations by configuring outbound mail servers and reply-to mailboxes.

This setup is required before you can send emails or receive replies from your contacts.


Understanding Email Setup in Peikly #

Peikly uses two main components for email functionality:

Outbound Mail Server (SMTP) #

Used for sending email campaigns and broadcasts.

Reply-To Mailbox #

Used for receiving replies and managing conversations with contacts.

Both parts are required for a complete email setup.


How to Configure SMTP Mail Server #

To set up your outbound email server:

  1. Go to Email → Mail Servers
  2. Click Add Mail Server
  3. Enter SMTP details:
  • Host
  • Port
  • Username
  • Password
  1. Save and validate the server

Once validated, your server is ready for sending campaigns :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.


How to Set Up a Reply-To Mailbox #

To receive email replies:

  1. Go to Email → Mailboxes
  2. Click Add Mailbox
  3. Choose connection type:
  • IMAP
  • POP3
  1. Enter mailbox credentials
  2. Assign the mailbox to a user
  3. Save and test the connection

Each mailbox is linked to a specific user for managing conversations :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.


How Email Sending Works #

After completing your setup:

  • Campaigns use the SMTP server to send emails
  • Replies are received in the assigned mailbox
  • Users can manage conversations from the inbox

This ensures full communication flow.
