I have heard that Mautic and SparkPost are compatible for mass email marketing. I am new to both services and am asking for a little direction on how that works and how I can set that up?

There are instructions in the documentation section of this website. It’s rather simple to set up, you go through the steps that spark post gives you, then you simply take the API key and put that inside Mautic.

I will caution you though, I have had a very bad experience with spark post, they will shut you down so fast for the smallest thing that you didn’t even do wrong. Then when you want your account reactivated they will drag their feet until you threaten them.

i have been using sparkpost for a long time , no problems , but the deliverabilty is not so good…  
Amazon SES is very strict but very cheap , the bad side is that you dont have almost any tool (you have to do it everything for yourself)

I would recomend amazon if you have $$ issues , if not , maybe sendinblue (Very complete) or mailgun (you have to work a little more)

Right now I switched back to Amazon SES. As long as you have al your DNS record set up properly you should have great deliverability. The problem with deliverability using Spark post is unless you have a dedicated IP address, many of their IP addresses are blacklisted.

Holys\*\*t, that is bad! How do you know that many of their IPs are blacklisted?

You can see it when you look at the stats on your email sends from within spark post. There are so many issues, emails delayed, deleted entirely.

Good luck sending to yahoo if you use them.

Does anyone know when they will fix the sparkpost integration bug on Version: 2.16.1 e 2.16.2?  
I’m having to downgrade to 2.16.0.  
Thanks

Hello, i have enable sparkpost and configured the webhooks from the panel. Can someone tell me what does the webhooks do? Do they replace the unsubscribe requests and bounces from the email settings? Please someone explain to me what they do so i can use the full potential of mautic. Thanks! ![:)]( ":)")

[quote=15258:@kuzmany]Yes, It’s the same integration like Mandrill [https://mautic.org/docs/en/emails/bounce\_management.html](https://mautic.org/docs/en/emails/bounce_management.html).  
Mautic Documentation for Sparkpost integreation doesn’t exist now, but You can find small hint here [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2223](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2223) (similar steps like with Mandrill)

Same integration will be in Mautic 2.2 for Amazon SES and Mailjet (hooray)  
[https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2223](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2223)  
[https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2346](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2346)

And of course, you haven’t to setup bounces from email settings. Webhook does the same, but better :)[/quote]

So what happens when i send emails? If they are bounced, what happens in mautic? If they unsubscribe, what happens in mautic? Will mautic still send emails to people who unsubscribed? Please more information. Thank you.

[quote=15260:@kuzmany]1, first - so sorry , Sparkpost Webhook documentation exist on the bottom of the page [https://mautic.org/docs/en/emails/bounce\_management.html](https://mautic.org/docs/en/emails/bounce_management.html)

Yes, Sparkpost send information about bounced user to [http://your-mautic.com/mailer/sparkpost/callback](http://your-mautic.com/mailer/sparkpost/callback) and Mautic process this information (usually mark it as do not contact)[/quote]  
Emails marked as do not contact are never emailed again by the application?
