Setting Up Mailgun with My AI Frontdesk for White Labeled Notification Sending
Hi all, in this step-by-step tutorial I will walk you through creating a Mailgun account, connecting it with your Hosting provider (updating your DNS records) and finally connecting it with My AI Front Desk. This process shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes to set up.
9. Now you need to go into your hosting provider. On my end, I use Hostinger.
The setup is really similar no matter what provider you use. The idea is that you need to access your DNS records and update them with the records provided from Mailgun.
10. Let's first login.
11. Click on Log in
12. If you have two factor authentication set up, you will need to insert the code you received to your email.
13. Click on highlight
14. If you already have your domain added, let's just locate it.
Go to domains.
15. Click on Domain portfolio
16. And you will see all your active domains.
17. Let's assume you have purchased a domain, but haven't added it yet.
Go to domains
18. Click on Add new domain
19. Now let's add your purchased domain.
20. Click on Add Domain
21. Now that we have the domain added, we need to update the DNS records.
All the records will say unverified at the beginning. We need to copy the records from Mailgun into your DNS records in Hostinger (hosting provider you are using).
22. Let's copy the records one by one into DNS records.
These take a bit more time to get verified. So if you click on verified and don't see it updated immediately like for all the others don't be alarmed. Revisit it in 20minutes and it should be okay.
57. Now let's add an email address you want to send emails from.
You will find that under Domain - your Domain - SMTP credentials.
58. Click on Add new SMTP user
59. Choose the email address you want under your domain.
60. Click on Create
61. Click on Sending keys
62. Click on Add sending key
63. This is the API key you will copy into My AI Front Desk!
64. Now let's find your username that you will copy into My AI Front Desk
Go to manage account in the drop down and then under User details you will see the email you used to create the account. Copy that as Mailgun Username into your My AI Front Desk.
65. Add your domain and email address we just added on top of that and you will be ready to go.
66. Click on Save changes first and then Test your email.
If you've followed this tutorial, you should have gotten an email!
67. Send the email to test if it works.
68. Click on OK to send it
69. As we've mentioned that DMARK records might take some time to update, in Hostinger, you will see a green tick next to your domain if everything is set up correctly.
