Using a custom email host will allow you to use your own SMTP server to send your Hub emails. This feature provides more control over email deliverability, but it requires a certain level of technical knowledge to use effectively. As a result, some may find it unnecessary for their needs.

💡An SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server's primary purpose is to send, receive, and/or relay outgoing mail between email senders and receivers.

Step 1 - Email configuration settings

Head to the Emails tab in your Hub settings to access Email Configuration.

Click the email config option

Next, toggle the Custom Host option.

Enable email custom host
