> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The integrated portal is available as an Apigee-managed solution for Apigee Edge for Public Cloud customers only. If you are an Apigee Edge for Private Cloud customer, refer to the customer-managed [Drupal portal solution](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/drupal/open-source-drupal).

By default, the developer portal sends emails in response to certain events. For example, when a new app developer registers on the portal, the portal automatically sends an account verification email to the registered email address.

Configure the following email settings for all email notifications originating from the portal:

- Configure the SMTP server for all email notifications, as described in [Configure an SMTP server](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/configure-email#smtp)

- Configure the contents of the email notifications, as described in [Configure email notifications](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/configure-email#email-notifications).

## Configure an SMTP server

When email notifications are sent to app developers, the Apigee corporate email
server is used by default. For example,
`noreply-apigee-portals@google.com`.

We strongly recommend that for production portals, you configure the SMTP server
for email notifications originating from the portal.
For example, `no-reply@mycompany.com`.

To configure the SMTP server:

1. Select **Publish \> Portals** and select your portal.
2. Select **Settings** in the drop-down menu in the top navigation bar.  
   Alternatively, click **Settings** on the portal landing page.
3. Click the **SMTP** tab.
4. Configure the SMTP server settings:

   | Setting | Description |
   |---|---|
   | Server URL | Host URL of the SMTP server. |
   | From Email | Email address used as the sender. |
   | SMTP Username | User name for the SMTP account. |
   | SMTP Password | Password for the SMTP account. |
   | Use Secure Connection? | Select to use a secure connection to the SMTP server. |
   | Auth Type | Authorization type. Valid values include: SSL, TLS, or STARTTLS. Leave this field blank for no authorization. |
   | Port | Port number for the SMTP server. The following ports are supported: - 465 (SSL) - 587 (TLS) - 25 (open, no authorization) |

   **Note** : At any time, you can reset the default Apigee settings by clicking **Reset Defaults**.
5. Click **Save**.

## Configure email notifications

Configure email notifications as part of the developer program, as described in the following sections:

- [Configure email notifications](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/portal-identity-provider#configure_email_notifications) as part of configuring the identity provider

- [Configure notifications for new portal user registration](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/configure-register-sign-in#configure_notifications_for_new_portal_user_registration) as part of configuring the sign-in experience for user accounts.
