# How to Connect Zoho

Zoho is a **software company** that has been around for quite a good, long-while. They allow you to create free e-mail accounts like Gmail that would look like **<example@zohomail.com>**. To get started with zoho SMTP, you need to create a business account or free personal account with them and you can do so by [clicking here](https://www.zoho.com/mail/) if you do not already have one.

Then, you can set up Zoho SMTP integration in just 2 steps:

1. Create a Zoho account and App
2. Create, copy and integrate Zoho's API

**Create a Zoho account and App**

After creating the account, then visit the [Zoho’s API](https://api-console.zoho.com/) link and click **Get Started.**

If you already used this API before to create some App, just click on a **+ Add Client** button located at the upper right corner and choose  **Server-Based Applications**.
