Elastic Email Integrations: Native, Zapier, and API
Elastic Email keeps its native integration surface deliberately narrow, roughly 6-7 first-party plugins and modules (WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal, Pabbly Connect, Poptin, Canva, Cloudways) plus the official Zapier app that opens the door to 9,000+ downstream apps. Everything else runs through REST API v4, SMTP relay on smtp.elasticemail.com, or the official MCP server launched in October 2025. Compared with the deeper native marketplaces of Mailchimp or Brevo, Elastic Email trades marketplace breadth for lower per-email pricing and a lean stack aimed at developers, agencies, and self-hosted operators.
At a glance
Integrations directory
The 30 connectors below are grouped by function. Native cards use the official Elastic Email plugin, module, or partner build. Zapier cards run through the official Elastic Email Zapier app, useful for gluing SaaS tools without code, but rate-limited by Zapier task quotas. API cards are self-hosted or MTA relays that authenticate directly against smtp.elasticemail.com or REST v4. Full official list at elasticemail.com/integrations.

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Elastic Email to WordPress or WooCommerce natively?
Install the official Elastic Email Sender plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, then paste an API key with Send-HTTP permission. The plugin swaps out wp_mail so all WordPress and WooCommerce transactional email (password resets, order confirmations, abandoned cart) route through the Elastic Email v4 API instead of your host’s default sendmail path. This is more reliable than raw SMTP for shared hosts that block outbound port 587.
Which Elastic Email actions and triggers are available in Zapier?
The official Zapier app exposes triggers for new contacts, unsubscribes, opens, clicks, and bounces, plus actions to send transactional emails, add or update contacts, add contacts to a list, and remove them from a list. That covers most no-code use cases, but heavy volume or complex logic is better handled with a direct API integration to avoid Zapier task ceilings.
Can I use Elastic Email as the SMTP relay for Sendy or MailWizz?
Yes. Both are common self-hosted stacks. Elastic Email publishes step-by-step Sendy and MailWizz guides. The critical constraint is the 20 concurrent-connections-per-IP cap: set Sendy or MailWizz delivery workers to 20 or fewer, otherwise the server rejects the extra connections and your queue backs up. Compared to Amazon SES, Elastic Email removes the sandbox approval step but caps throughput more aggressively at low tiers.
Does Elastic Email have an official Canva integration?
Yes. In December 2025 Elastic Email launched a direct Canva partnership. You can design email creative in Canva and export it straight into Elastic Email templates with a shared media library, avoiding the export-to-PNG-and-reupload loop. It sits alongside the native AI Template Designer released in August 2025.
How do I route webhook events from Elastic Email into my app?
Register an HTTPS endpoint on the /webhook API resource or in the account UI, and subscribe to the event types you want (delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, unsubscribed, complaint). Elastic Email POSTs a JSON payload for each event. Sign or scope the endpoint on your side, there is no HMAC signing header, so use a hard-to-guess URL and validate source IP where possible.
Is there a Cloudways or WHMCS integration for Elastic Email?
Both are officially supported. Cloudways lists Elastic Email as a first-party SMTP add-on for managed WordPress, Laravel, and PHP applications, enable it in the platform panel and Cloudways handles the credentials. WHMCS has an official Elastic Email module in its Marketplace, which is the standard billing and provisioning stack for hosting resellers who want to embed Elastic Email in customer offers.
