# HTTP provider

> What the coming-soon HTTP provider option means in Accounts.

The **HTTP API** provider type is visible in **Accounts** as a coming-soon option. It is not available for live sending yet.

## What it will be for

HTTP providers will connect Sendmux to sending providers that accept token-based HTTP requests instead of SMTP or connected-account sending.

## What to use now

* Use **Custom SMTP** for providers that expose SMTP credentials.
* Use **Gmail** or **Outlook / Microsoft 365** for connected account sending.
* Use the managed sending account for first sends and low-volume traffic.

## What happens next

The disabled card is there so teams can see the planned provider category. There is no setup step, release date, or migration action required.
