Email Integration
Email integration refers to the process of connecting email systems with other software applications, services, or platforms to automate, synchronize, and enhance email-related functionalities. It enables developers to programmatically send, receive, parse, and manage emails, often using APIs, SMTP, IMAP, or third-party services. This concept is widely used in applications for notifications, marketing campaigns, customer support, and data synchronization.
Developers should learn email integration when building applications that require automated communication, such as sending transactional emails (e.g., order confirmations, password resets), handling inbound email processing (e.g., support tickets, user feedback), or integrating with email marketing tools. It is essential for enhancing user engagement, streamlining workflows, and ensuring reliable email delivery in web, mobile, and enterprise applications.
