Setting up a Source

In SendPro, sources are the systems or platforms that send messages into your account. You can easily create and configure these sources using the Source Wizard. This guide will walk you through the process, including access requirements, protocol selection, and credential creation. You must have Admin-level access to set up a new source.

Default system source: SendPro

Every SendPro account includes a system-defined source named SendPro, which is used for:

  • BCC messages
  • Resends

This source is built-in and cannot be modified or deleted.

How to use the source wizard

Step 1: Open the source wizard

  1. Go to Setup > Sources & API in the main menu.

  2. You will see a list of existing sources. Here you can:
    • Edit existing sources
    • Or, click Create Credentials Wizard to begin setting up a new source

Step 2: Select a Protocol

The first screen in the Source Wizard asks you to choose a protocol type. The available options are:

  • SMTP 
  • SMTP Header Auth
  • Inbox
  • Inbox Domain
  • SMPP
  • API

Tip: The most commonly used types are SMTP and API.

If you already have a source of the selected type, the system will ask whether you want to:

  • Create a new source of that type, or
  • Add new credentials to the existing one

Step 3: Configure Source Settings

You’ll now define the source settings. This includes:

  • Description: Optional label to help you identify the source
  • Protocol-specific settings: These vary depending on the type selected

Once you've filled in the required information, click Create Credentials.

This creates a username and a password that enables a link between your system and SendPro. Before you create the credentials, you first specify the settings. All these settings, except for the password, can be changed at a later time. The password is stored with encryption and no one can access it afterwards.

Important

The password is shown once, so make sure to save it securely. If you have lost your password, you will need to create new credentials. Also, be mindful that the passwords generated for the sources are unique and should not be shared with anyone else. Save your source credentials to somewhere safe.

Your source is now ready for use.
