- Use Chatzy Email (default)
- Use Your Own SMTP Server (recommended for production)

Using Chatzy Email
By default, emails are sent through Chatzy’s email service. This is the quickest way to start sending emails without configuring an email server.Recommended: Use Chatzy Email for sending notifications to your internal team, such as lead alerts, support notifications, escalation emails, or daily reports. Since recipient addresses must be fixed, it’s best suited for internal communication rather than customer-facing emails.
Limitations
- Recipient email addresses must be fixed values.
- Variables (such as
{{inbound_webhook.email}}) are not supported in the To or Cc fields. - A daily sending limit applies.
- Journeys that exceed the limit automatically resume the following day.
Note: If you need to send emails to customers or dynamic email addresses collected during a conversation, enable Send from my own email server.

Enable Send from my own email server to use your own SMTP provider.
- Dynamic email addresses using variables
- Better deliverability
- Your own sender identity
