LC Mail Alternative: Google Workspace (G Suite) - Transactional Email Only
If you are a coach or agency and plan to only do transactional email + not broadcasts or promotional messages, you can use Gsuite in place of Mailgun.
IMPORTANT: There has been a new UI update since the recording of this video that requires us to manually disable the default SMTP provider (LC Email) before you can add an alternate SMTP provider. If you notice that the "Add Service" button in your account is grayed out, please email us at support@fgfunnels.com or in live chat so that we turn this on for you.

Not sure what transactional emails are?
Transactional email is sent from one sender to one recipient, following a commercial transaction or specific action performed by that person (the recipient). Examples of transactional emails include appointment confirmations, purchase confirmations, and password reminder emails.
