**Your software** My Mautic version is: 4.1.0 My PHP version is: 7.4 I’ve looked around all the docs and can only find the plugin/extension to track emails sent using the Gmail UI in Mautic. I can’t find anything regarding using the API for sending emails through Google Workspaces aka Gmail. I currently have the “other SMTP” set up authorizing with uname and password. I had the same setup on my WP installs but constantly had failed sending emails errors that I switched to the API approach. Now that I have the credentials set up I wanted to use the same approach with Mautic. ---

Interesting. Also gmail API does have a daily limit as well, right? ---

It does have a limit however it’s workable in my case. > **[Usage limits  |  Gmail API  |  Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/quota)** Sending a message uses 100 quota units. or 10M emails sent per day at 2 emails per second. I ask about the API connection as SMTP auth, at least with Gmail servers is sketchy. I recently switch WPSMTP connecting via SMTP to OAuth and the failure rate went from 100+ per week to zero. | API limit type | Limit | | --- | --- | | Daily usage | 1,000,000,000 quota units per day for your application. | | Per user rate limit | 250 quota units per user per second, _moving average_ (allows short bursts). | ---

Oh that looks like a big limit. I was talking about Gmail workspace limit. [Gmail sending limits in Google Workspace - Google Workspace Admin Help](https://support.google.com/a/answer/166852?hl=en) You could use a gmail account to send emails without any charge as well. ---

My marketing list is really small. I only have \>1K on my list at the moment. I could go with Mailgun, they do have a free account that lets you send 1250 emails a month free. The 1251st email is $1 though! lol. Then it’s $.80 per thousand emails sent. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/c/ca3dab742f4a10f2305bf39e03b950219e9682de.png)
