Migrate to utobo email

Switch to utobo email in under an hour.

We've mapped the exact steps to migrate from every major email provider. Change your API call or SMTP credentials, update your DNS records, and you're done.

Step-by-step guides

Full walkthroughs for the two most common moves — contacts, templates, automations, DNS and code.

What stays the same

  • Your sending domain and email address
  • Your email content and templates
  • Your contact lists — import via CSV or API
  • Your analytics history stays in your old provider

From SendGrid

  1. 1
    Create your utobo email account at email.utobo.com and generate an API key.
  2. 2
    Replace your SDK:
  3. 3
    Update your send call:
    // Before:
    sgMail.send({ to, from, subject, html });
    // After:
    client.emails.send({ to, from, subject, html });
  4. 4
    Update your DNS — add utobo email's DKIM and SPF records. The setup wizard shows exactly which records to add.
  5. 5
    Send a test email. Check your delivery logs. Cut over.

From Mailgun

  1. 1–2
    Same as above — create account, get API key, install SDK.
  2. 3
    // Before (Mailgun):
    mg.messages.create(domain, { from, to, subject, html });
    // After (utobo email):
    client.emails.send({ from, to, subject, html });
  3. 4–5
    Update DNS records and send a test. Done.

From Postmark

// Before (Postmark):
client.sendEmail({ From, To, Subject, HtmlBody });
// After (utobo email):
client.emails.send({ from, to, subject, html });

SMTP migration (any provider)

If you're using SMTP, change these settings:

Host:       smtp.mail.utobo.com
Port:       587
Encryption: STARTTLS
Username:   apikey          (the literal word "apikey")
Password:   your utobo email API key (av_live_…)

That's the entire migration for SMTP users.

Import your contacts

Download a CSV of your contacts from your current provider. Import it in the utobo email dashboard under Audiences → Import. Lists, tags, and unsubscribes are all supported.
