Manage SMTP

Use the Manage SMTP page to set up the SMTP server that Nectari uses to send email notifications. After you configure SMTP, Nectari can send messages such as report deliveries and system notifications through your organization’s mail server. This feature is not available in Nectari Cloud.

Authentication type

Choose the authentication method supported by your SMTP provider. When available, OAuth 2.0 is the recommended option because it avoids using SMTP passwords and provides stronger security than basic authentication, while no authentication should be used only in controlled relay scenarios approved by your mail administrator.

Type	When to use
No authentication	Use when your SMTP server accepts unauthenticated relay from the Nectari server.
Basic authentication	Use when your SMTP server requires a username and password.
OAuth 2.0 authentication	Use for Microsoft Entra ID and Exchange Online (Microsoft 365) and other providers that support OAuth 2.0 client credentials.
