Mailpro’s Email-to-SMS gateway lets you trigger an SMS just by sending an email. The gateway converts the email into a properly formatted SMS and delivers it to the recipient’s mobile in seconds — perfect for connecting your CRM, helpdesk, monitoring system or any tool that can send email but not SMS.
How the gateway works in 3 steps
1. You send an email to a special address: [email protected] (the local part is the recipient’s mobile in international format). 2. The gateway authenticates the sending address against your account. 3. The email body is converted to an SMS, billed against your SMS credit and delivered.
Email format and limits
| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| Recipient | +<country code><mobile>@sms.mailpro.com — example [email protected] |
| Sender | Must be an authorized sender of your account |
| Subject | Optional. If empty, only the body is used |
| Body | First 160 GSM-7 characters (or 70 Unicode) become the SMS — see country codes |
| HTML | Stripped automatically — only the plain-text part is converted |
Setting it up in your Mailpro dashboard
Open SMS → Email-to-SMS gateway, add the email addresses (or domains) allowed to trigger SMS, and copy the generated gateway address. Test the gateway by sending an email from one of those addresses to your own mobile number.
Common integrations
Almost any system that fires email notifications can be turned into an SMS trigger: Zabbix/Nagios alerts, Jira ticket events, Stripe payment receipts, Calendly appointments, Google Calendar reminders. Most need only a copy/paste of the gateway address into the “notify by email” field.
Pricing
Each delivered SMS uses one credit from your Mailpro SMS balance. There is no extra fee for the gateway itself. See SMS pricing for current per-country rates.
