# Mailgun Email Integration with Novu

> Connect Mailgun to Novu to send email notifications through notification workflows. Step-by-step credential setup.

You can use the [Mailgun](https://mailgun.com/) 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.

## Generating an API Key

To generate a new API key in Mailgun, you can follow these steps:

* [Sign up](https://signup.mailgun.com/new/signup) or [Log in](https://login.mailgun.com/login/) to your Mailgun account.
* Click on the **Profile** section in the top right corner of the screen, and then click "API Keys" from the drop-down menu.
* On the [API Keys](https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/security/api_keys) page, copy the generated **Private API Key**

## Adding a new domain name

Mailgun recommends that you add a subdomain as a domain name. To do so:

* Visit the page to add a [domain name](https://app.mailgun.com/app/sending/domains/new).
  * During this process, you will need to choose a region for the domain name which is between `US` and `EU`. The default is `US`.
* Follow the [instructions](https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/user_manual.html#verifying-your-domain-1) to verify the domain name.

## Creating a Mailgun integration with Novu

* Visit the [Integrations](https://dashboard.novu.co/integrations?utm_campaign=docs-mailgun) page on Novu.
* Click on Add a Provider.
* Select Mailgun service.
* Enter your Mailgun API Key.
* Enter your Base URL.
  * For domains created in the EU region, the base URL is: `https://api.eu.mailgun.net/`
  * Otherwise, leave the base URL blank.
* Fill in the `Username`.
* Fill in the `Domain name` registered on Mailgun.
* Fill in the `From email address` field using the authenticated email from the previous step.
* Fill in the `Sender's name`.
* Click on the `Disabled` button and mark it as `Active`.
* Click on the **Update** button.
* You should now be able to send notifications using Mailgun in Novu.
