Mailer Properties:
Using mailerlite account details.
Should the smtp properties panel ask for an api key?
Getting ERROR:
{"status":"500","code":"EDNS","message":"getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://api.mailerlite.com","stack":"Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://api.mailerlite.com\n at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookupall [as oncomplete] (node:dns:120:26)"}
Has anybody used mailerlite any help would be appreciated.
The host option requires your SMTP server host. For example smtp.gmail.com or similar. If this is an external API you are trying to use to send emails, then you need to connect to it using the API Action step in Server Connect.
https://www.mailerlite.com/help/does-mailerlite-offer-smtp-simple-mail-transfer-protocol - since mailerlite doesn’t support sending emails via SMTP you have to use API action, not Mailer and Send Email action.
Hi Notum Thanks for your reply…
Not sure how would the api look, could you give us a bit of guidance?
Please check the docs provided by the service you are using: https://developers.mailerlite.com/
As an aside would I be able to use mailchimp as a mailserver using mailer?
Thanks Teodor,
I only want to send a limited number of emails for account authentication etc, not for bulk marketing emails at this stage.
Could you recommend a smtp server which has a free option and requires very simple setup, for some reason sendgrid refuses my application and gives no reason, maybe it’s because I don’t have a business website at the moment??
Would love to know what you think…Thanks 
Hi James, have a look at the smtp2go mail service provider. They offer a free plan for up to 1000 emails every month.
Hey Guptast great recommendation, setup took minutes, the sms service using the same account also looks very good, thanks for your help!!
