To send e-mail from Web Port, access to an SMTP server is required. Information on which SMTP server to use can be provided by the IT department or Internet Service Provider (ISP) providing the network.
The following settings can be made for email:
| Setting: | Description: |
| SMTP server | IP address or hostname of the SMTP server |
| SMTP port | The port used to connect to the server |
| Sending e-mail address | The e-mail address that will be used as the sender |
| User name | Any potential user name to connect to the SMTP server |
| Password | Any potential password to connect to the SMTP server |
| Use SSL | Select whether the SMTP server requires connection via SSL |
| Character format | The character style e-mail should be sent with |
Tip!
Verify that the connection to the SMTP server is correct by sending a test message.
Enter heading, message and which email address should be the recipient, and then click Send. Check the send log to see if the test was successful or to view any error details.
Microsoft Graph API - BETA
If you use Microsoft Azure, you can now switch from SMTP to Microsoft Graph API for sending emails from Webport.
To use this feature, you need access to an Azure tenant and an App Registration set up in Azure. The App Registration must include:
-
Application (Client) ID
-
Directory (Tenant) ID
-
Client Secret (the secret value, not the ID)
The App must be granted the Mail.Send permission, either as Application or Delegate. Azure AD User ID is required for using as a shared mailbox. Additionally, the Exchange must be configured to allow sending emails on behalf of the specified AD user.
For more guidance, see Microsoft’s documentation:

| User Id | Azure AD User ID used to send the email |
| Tenant Id | Directory (Tenant) ID from your Azure App Registration |
| Client Id | Application (Client) ID from your Azure App Registration |
| Client Secret | Secret value generated in Azure App Registration (note: this is not the ID) |
