But I’m still hitting a wall. When I try to send emails through my Gmail in Apollo.io, I get this weird error about my domain not being on a Mailgun account.
Also, I can’t add my Mailgun email as a mailbox in Apollo.io because it needs an IMAP host, which Mailgun doesn’t have.
I’m totally stuck here. Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas on how to fix it? I’d really appreciate some help!
I encountered a similar issue when integrating Mailgun with Apollo.io. The problem might lie in the domain configuration. Ensure your domain is properly verified and active in Mailgun. Also, check if you’re using the correct API credentials in Apollo.io. Sometimes, using the sandbox domain instead of your custom domain can cause these errors. If all else fails, consider reaching out to Mailgun support specifically about SMTP integration with Apollo.io. They might have additional insights or configuration steps not covered in the general documentation.
hey charlottew, sounds like a real headache! have you tried using a different email provider like sendgrid instead? They integrate better with apollo.io in my experience. Also, double-check your domain verification in mailgun - sometimes that can cause weird issues. good luck!
I’ve been down this road before, and it can be frustrating. One strategy that worked for me was setting up a custom SMTP server instead of relying on Mailgun’s direct integration. I set up an SMTP relay in my Mailgun account and then used those credentials in Apollo.io instead of the API. I also added my domain to Apollo.io’s sending domains, which bypassed the need for IMAP and resolved the domain error. It did require more configuration, but it provided better control over email delivery. I also double-checked my SPF and DKIM records in DNS, as misconfigurations there can cause unexpected issues. If nothing else works, you might consider services like Postmark or SendGrid, which tend to integrate more smoothly with Apollo.io.
