MailChannels Is Now on Zapier

MailChannels now has a native integration in the Zapier app directory. Connect it to thousands of other apps and trigger transactional emails automatically, without writing any code.

If you’re already sending through MailChannels, this is the fastest way to wire it into the rest of your stack. If you’ve been looking for a reliable transactional email option that fits into your existing Zapier workflows, now’s a good time to try it.

What You Can Build

The integration adds a Send Email action to Zapier. Any time a trigger fires in another app — a form submission, a new CRM contact, a new order, a scheduled time — Zapier can send a transactional email through MailChannels automatically. The email body supports HTML formatting, and every field (recipient address, name, subject line, body) can be populated dynamically from the data your trigger provides.

Here are a few ready-to-build examples:

Welcome email on signup — When someone submits a Typeform or Google Form, send them a personalized welcome email the moment it comes in.

Order confirmation — When a new order is placed in Shopify or WooCommerce, send the customer a confirmation with their order details pulled directly from the trigger data.

CRM follow-up — When a new contact is added in HubSpot or Pipedrive, send a personalized intro from your sales team without any manual effort.

Scheduled digest — Use Schedule by Zapier to send a weekly summary to your team every Monday morning at a set time.

Internal alert — When a new row is added to a Google Sheet or Airtable base, email your team with the details automatically.

What You Need to Get Started

You’ll need a MailChannels account, a Zapier account (free or paid), and a domain you own. MailChannels sends email on behalf of your domain, so a one-time DNS setup is required before your first Zap will work. This involves adding a TXT record to your domain’s DNS settings to verify ownership — it takes a few minutes and only needs to be done once. The setup guide below walks through it.

It’s also worth configuring SPF and DKIM for your domain while you’re in there. Both improve deliverability and are straightforward to set up through the MailChannels Console.

A Note on Beta Status

The MailChannels app is currently listed as Beta in Zapier’s directory. It works reliably — you may just see the Beta label when searching for it. If you have trouble finding it, search “MailChannels” directly or use the direct link: zapier.com/apps/mailchannels/integrations.

Get Started

The step-by-step setup guide is in the MailChannels Help Center. It covers API key creation, domain authorization, connecting to Zapier, and configuring your first Zap. If you don’t have a MailChannels account yet, you can sign up at mailchannels.com.
