# Mailgun Integration

> Connect your Mailgun account to SendPost for unified email management, advanced analytics, and enhanced deliverability monitoring.

SendPost's Mailgun integration allows you to use your existing Mailgun account as a **Third-Party Sending Provider (TPSP)**. This means you can:

* Send emails through Mailgun while using SendPost's unified API
* Receive and process Mailgun events (opens, clicks, bounces, etc.) in SendPost
* View all email analytics in one centralized dashboard
* Apply SendPost's intelligent routing and throttling to your Mailgun traffic
