# Plunk Email Integration with Novu

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

You can use the [Plunk](https://useplunk.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 Plunk provider in the email channel, you will need to create a Plunk account and add your API key to the Plunk integration on the Novu platform.

## Get API Key

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

* Log in to your Plunk account.
* Click on `Project Settings` on the side bar and then `API keys` on the tab.
* On the API Keys page, click on `Secret API key` to copy.

## Authenticate your sender identity

Before you can send emails on a large scale, you will need to authenticate your Sender Identity. Plunk allows you to authenticate your sender identity using [Domain Authentication](https://app.useplunk.com/settings/identity)

## Create a Plunk integration with Novu

* Visit the [Integrations](https://dashboard.novu.co/integrations?utm_campaign=docs-plunk) page on Novu.
* Click on Add a Provider.
* Select Plunk service.
* Enter your Plunk secret API Key.
* Fill the `From email address` field using the authenticated email from the previous step.
* Click on the `Disabled` button and mark as `Active`.
* Click on the **Update** button.
* You should now be able to send notifications using Plunk in Novu.
