You can use the Mailgun provider to send transactional emails to your customers using the Novu Platform with a single API to create multi-channel experiences.

​
Getting Started

To use the Mailgun provider in the email channel, you will need to create a Mailgun account and add your API key and domain name to the Mailgun integration on the Novu platform.

​
