# SparkPost Integration

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

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

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