I recently set up Mautic version 6 on my server and I’m looking for a way to use Mailgun as my email service provider. When I check the email configuration settings in Mautic, I don’t see any direct option for Mailgun integration.
I’m wondering if there’s a specific method or workaround to configure Mailgun with Mautic v6. Maybe through SMTP settings or some other approach? I really need to get email sending working properly for my marketing campaigns.
Has anyone successfully connected these two services together? Any step-by-step guidance would be really appreciated.
I’ve been running Mautic v6 with Mailgun’s HTTP API instead of SMTP - way more reliable. The API gives you better error handling and doesn’t bog down your server like SMTP connections do. You’ll need Mautic’s webhook feature to trigger API calls to Mailgun’s messages endpoint. Mailgun’s docs are pretty clear on how to set this up. Big win is getting instant response codes when stuff breaks, while SMTP just times out or fails silently. Performance is way better too, especially with larger batches. Just make sure you handle the API responses right in your webhook handler.
You’re right - no dedicated Mailgun option, but SMTP works great. I’ve run this setup for eight months with no major problems. Grab your SMTP credentials from the Mailgun dashboard under domain settings. Use smtp.mailgun.org, port 587, TLS encryption. Don’t use your account login - you need the actual SMTP username and password. Pro tip: verify your sending domain in Mailgun first or you’ll hit authentication errors. Also, the free tier has daily limits, so watch your campaign volumes if you’re starting out.
SMTP works but it’s a pain at scale. You’ll spend forever dealing with auth issues and delivery problems.
I moved everything to Latenode last year - total game changer. Built a simple automation that handles all email sending through their visual interface instead of fighting SMTP configs.
You can connect Mautic to Mailgun through Latenode without touching server settings. Set up webhooks in Mautic, let Latenode catch them, route to Mailgun’s API. Way cleaner than SMTP and you get proper error handling plus delivery tracking.
Want to switch providers or add backup routes later? Just modify the automation instead of reconfiguring your entire Mautic setup. 30 minutes vs hours of SMTP troubleshooting.
mailgun’s smtp is solid, but keep an eye on your domain reputation. If it’s not good, delivery rates can drop a lot. i’ve used it with mautic v5 and v6 for over a year. setting up your spf and dkim records properly is a must, otherwise ur emails go to spam.
