# Get started with the SMTP connector
22-
Connect to SMTP to send email.
2315

24-
To use [any connector](apis-list.md), you first need to create a logic app. You can get started by [creating a logic app now](../logic-apps/quickstart-create-first-logic-app-workflow.md).
16+
# Send email from your SMTP account with Azure Logic Apps
17+
18+
With Azure Logic Apps and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) connector,
19+
you can create automated tasks and workflows that send email from your SMTP account.
20+
You can also have other actions use the output from SMTP actions. For example,
21+
after your SMTP sends an email, you can notify your team in Slack with the Slack connector.
22+
If you're new to logic apps, review [What is Azure Logic Apps?](../logic-apps/logic-apps-overview.md)
23+
24+
## Prerequisites
25+
26+
* An Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription,
27+
<a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/free/" target="_blank">sign up for a free Azure account</a>.
28+
29+
* Your SMTP account and user credentials
30+
31+
Your credentials authorize your logic app to create
32+
a connection and access your SMTP account.
33+
34+
* Basic knowledge about
35+
[how to create logic apps](../logic-apps/quickstart-create-first-logic-app-workflow.md)
36+
37+
* The logic app where you want to access your SMTP account.
38+
To use an SMTP action, start your logic app with a trigger,
39+
such as a Salesforce trigger, if you have a Salesforce account.
40+
41+
For example, you can start your logic app with the
42+
**When a record is created** Salesforce trigger.
43+
This trigger fires each time that a new record,
44+
such as a lead, is created in Salesforce.
45+
You can then follow this trigger with the SMTP
46+
**Send Email** action. That way, when the new
47+
record is created, your logic app sends an email
48+
from your SMTP account about the new record.

## Connect to SMTP
27-
Before your logic app can access any service, you first need to create a *connection* to the service. A [connection](connectors-overview.md) provides connectivity between a logic app and another service. For example, to connect to SMTP, you first need an SMTP *connection*. To create a connection, enter the credentials you normally use to access the service you connect to. So, in the SMTP example, enter the credentials to your connection name, SMTP server address, and user login information to create the connection to SMTP.

In this example, SMTP doesn't have a trigger of its own. So, use the **Salesforce - When an object is created** trigger. This trigger activates when a new object is created in Salesforce. For this example, it's set it up so that every time a new lead is created in Salesforce, a *send email* action occurs using the SMTP connector with a notification of the new lead being created.
80+
1. Provide the necessary details for your selected action.
