Smartico supports a variety of communication channels, and this article explains the different methods available for message delivery.

Emails

Smartico provides multiple options for email delivery:

  • Existing gateways - Smartico natively supports major email gateways such as SendGrid, Mailgun, MailJet, and over 20 others. You can configure these gateways in the Smartico Back Office under Label \ Gateways \ Mail. This option works out of the box and requires no additional development. If your preferred gateway is not listed, you can submit a request via Smartico JIRA, including the gateway site link and testing credentials.

  • SmartWay - Smartico offers its proprietary mail gateway, SmartWay, which provides first-class support directly from Smartico. It can be integrated as part of your general contract.

  • Custom Gateway- If you prefer to manage email delivery independently, you can implement an API following the guide. In this setup, Smartico will send your system the email content and recipient details, and your system will be responsible for final delivery. You must also report delivery status, including bounces and failures.

SMS

Similar to emails, SMS messages can be delivered through multiple methods

  • Existing providers - Smartico supports over 80 SMS providers, including major platforms like Karix, Twilio, and Wavix. These providers are available out of the box and can be configured in the Smartico Back Office under Label \ Gateways \ Instant Messages. If your preferred provider is missing, you can request integration via Smartico JIRA with the gateway site link and testing credentials.

  • Custom Gateway - Similar to email, you can set up a for SMS delivery, where Smartico calls your API to send messages and track delivery status.
