• Log in to BTP Cockpit

  • Go to SAP BTP Cockpit (or your landscape, e.g., eu10.hana.ondemand.com).

• Navigate to Your Subaccount

  • Select your subaccount where your app/service will run.

• Go to Destinations

  • In the left-hand menu → Connectivity → Destinations.

• Create a New Destination

  • Click New Destination.

  • Fill in details for your mail server, for example:

  Example: SMTP Mail Destination

Name: SMTP_MAIL
Type: SMTP
Description: SMTP Server for Email
Mail Server: smtp.office365.com
Port: 587
Authentication: BasicAuthentication
User: your-email@company.com
Password: <app password or SMTP password>

Additional Properties:

mail.smtp.auth = true
mail.smtp.starttls.enable = true

1. (If your company uses another SMTP, replace accordingly.)

2. Save & Test

   • Save the destination.

   • Use the Check Connection button to ensure it works.

Sending Emails from BTP Apps

Once the destination is created:

• In CAP (Cloud Application Programming) or Node.js/Java apps running on BTP, you can call the destination using the Destination Service API.

• Example: use @sap-cloud-sdk/connectivity (Node.js) or com.sap.cloud.sdk.cloudplatform.connectivity.DestinationAccessor (Java) to fetch SMTP config and send emails via a mail library.

Alternative: SAP BTP Mail Service

Instead of configuring SMTP yourself:

• Some BTP regions provide a Mail Service (Mail API) that can be used directly for outbound mail without handling SMTP configuration.

• Check if your subaccount entitlements include “Mail” service.
