How to Configure Icegram’s ESS in the Icegram Express Plugin for Sending Emails

Follow these steps to get started with the Email Sending Service (ESS) in Icegram Express:

Step 1: Log in to your Icegram Express plugin and navigate to the Dashboard.

Step 2: In the Dashboard, locate the “Use our Email sending service” section and click on the “Let’s Start” button to activate ESS. After clicking Let’s Start, the setup process will begin, and within a few seconds, your account will be created.

Step 2.2: By default, you will have a 3,000 email sending limit, which is the free limit for users. If you wish to upgrade your limit, you can click the Upgrade Your Sending Limit button to select a paid plan.

Step 3: After your account is set up, click Continue. You will now see the ESS allotted limit displayed on your dashboard, showing both the used and remaining email limits.

Step 4: ESS currently allows you to send up to 100 emails per day for free. This feature eliminates the need for external email-sending services. Once enabled, your email campaigns will be sent via ESS, and you’ll be able to track the allocated limit under Dashboard > Express > Settings > Email Sending > Scroll Down.

Step 5: If the sending limit is reached, users won't be able to send emails until their monthly limit is restored or they purchase higher plans.

Step 6: To disable ESS after enabling it, In the latest Express version, there isn't any explicit settings to disable ESS. As soon as the admin switches to other mailers, ESS gets disabled. **

Note: ESS is not only simple to use but also secure and reliable. It doesn’t collect or process any personal data, ensuring your privacy is protected at all times.
