Email and SMTP

What email integration options does Tallyfy provide?

Tallyfy offers comprehensive email integration capabilities that significantly enhance workflow communication and task management through multiple sophisticated connection methods.

These strategic email integrations streamline workflow notifications, enable professional custom branding, and facilitate seamless task management directly within familiar email platforms that teams use daily.

How can I use custom SMTP with Tallyfy?

Tallyfy supports advanced custom SMTP configuration enabling organizations to send all workflow emails through their own dedicated email servers rather than Tallyfy’s default infrastructure.

Custom SMTP setup provides comprehensive control over email delivery while maintaining complete consistency with existing corporate email systems and branding standards.

Why implement custom SMTP?

  • Professional Branding: Emails appear to originate directly from your company domain, maintaining brand consistency.
  • Enhanced Deliverability: Leverages your organization’s established email reputation and delivery infrastructure.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Maintains all email communication within your company’s controlled systems and compliance frameworks.
  • Advanced Filtering: Applies your organization’s existing email rules, security filters, and governance policies.

(Setting up Custom SMTP requires technical details from your IT team. See the Custom SMTP Setup Guide - Note: This guide is technical).
