The folks at [Mailcoach](https://www.mailcoach.app/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=phpxworld_organizers) have generously offered free accounts to all
PHP× organizers. Reach out to Chris Morrell on the Discord to get the coupon code.

#### Get a free Mailcoach account

Once you have your coupon code, register at [Mailcoach](https://www.mailcoach.app/).

- When registering, you can choose "Let us handle sending."
- Go to billing and choose the base plan. At checkout, use the PHP× coupon code that you received
from Chris. That will cover the monthly fee and the first 2,000 emails.
- You will still need to provide a credit card and will be billed if you send more than 2,000
emails in a given month.
- Finally, you will have to go thru a short approval process to get out of test mode (this is
to mitigate spam).

- **Before you can send emails, you must be approved**. Click the "Test Mode" badge in the upper navigation, then click "Request approval" and fill in the questions. Under "What made you choose Mailcoach?" mention "PHPxWorld" so they can spot your request more easily.

Once your account is set up, you will want to go through the Mailcoach settings and configure it
however you choose. A few things you will probably want to do:
