Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
This guide is aimed at integrating Mailgun, a popular email automation service, with Bubble.io, a coding platform that allows users to build web applications through visual editing. This integration will enable your Bubble.io applications to send automated emails via Mailgun.
Before we begin, please ensure you have both a Bubble.io and Mailgun account.
When you have your Mailgun account ready, you will need to find your Mailgun API key. This is crucial because it allows your Bubble.io apps to interact with Mailgun's service.
Go to your Mailgun dashboard and click on the "Settings" tab.
You will see a tab named "API Keys," click on it.
On this page, you will find your API key.
Next, we will add Mailgun to Bubble.io.
Go to your Bubble.io dashboard.
Click on the "Plugins" tab on the left side of the screen.
Click on the blue "+Add Plugins" button to open a popup window.
In the search bar, type "Mailgun" and hit enter.
Click on the "Install" button beside Mailgun.
After successfully adding Mailgun as a plugin to Bubble.io, the next step will be to input the Mailgun API Key you retrieved into Bubble.io.
Go to the "Plugins" tab on the left side of the Bubble.io dashboard.
Click on the newly added Mailgun plugin.
A form will show which will have fields like "API Key", "Domain" and so forth.
Your Mailgun account will also have a domain set. This is different from your API Key and is used to verify and route your emails. To find and add your domain to Bubble.io:
Go back to your Mailgun dashboard.
Click on the "Domains" tab.
Copy the domain name.
To verify if the integration is successful:
Go to the "Plugins" tab on the Bubble.io dashboard.
Select the Mailgun plugin.
Click the "Check" or "Verify" button. It will automatically check if the API Key and Domain are correct and have bonded successfully.
The integration with Mailgun will allow your Bubble.io apps to send emails using Mailgun. To test if the emails are being sent successfully:
Create a basic web app or use a pre-existing one on Bubble.io and add a button that triggers the sending of an email.
Make sure the email action is linked to Mailgun in the Bubble.io workflow.
Input a test email address and click the button.
And that's all! You have successfully integrated Mailgun with your Bubble application. You can now send automated emails directly from your Bubble.io apps. Enjoy your improved email functionality!
Scenario: A nonprofit organization wants to engage its audience more effectively for its upcoming charity event. They use Bubble.io to create a dedicated event page where visitors can register for the event, make donations, and stay updated on event details. The organization also wants to manage the communication with the registrants and donors effectively and timely through automated emails.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Mailgun

The visitor’s information is stored, and automated email sequences are set up using Mailgun.
Email Engagement in Mailgun: The nonprofit team uses Mailgun to set up automated email sequences, workflows, and tasks based on the captured data. They can send personalized thank you emails, event updates, and other relevant information to engage the donors and registrants effectively.
