Fortinet Cloud Email API Connector Service, 1-Year (FC4-10-FEVVS-409-02-12)

Organisations that have deployed FortiMail Cloud at the FC4 level and want to assess API connector throughput at 8-vCPU scale for a full annual cycle can start with this 1-year subscription. It enables inline email scanning through direct platform API integration across Microsoft 365, Exchange on-premises, and Google Gmail without altering MX records or rerouting mail transport.

Overview

FortiMail Cloud’s Cloud Email API Connector integrates with mail platforms at the API layer rather than the mail transport layer. For Microsoft 365, the integration uses Microsoft Graph. For Exchange on-premises and Google Gmail, native API bindings handle message interception. In all three cases, messages are inspected inline before delivery, with no changes to your domain’s MX configuration required and no disruption to existing mail flow routing.

The FC4 tier allocates 8 vCPU of processing capacity to your FortiMail Cloud instance. It sits one step above FC3 (4 vCPU) and is intended for environments where daily message volumes or attachment scanning load exceeds what a 4-vCPU allocation handles without scan queuing. Threat detection, anti-phishing rules, sandboxing verdicts, and content filtering all operate within this capacity envelope. The additional vCPU headroom compared to FC3 means FortiMail Cloud can process more concurrent scan operations during peak inbound delivery windows without degrading verdict latency.

This 1-year term runs for 12 calendar months from the activation date. Renewal at the same FC4 tier requires no re-provisioning of the connector configuration, so the integration with Microsoft 365, Exchange, or Gmail carries forward without disruption.

Who it suits

The FC4 API connector is designed for larger mid-market organisations that manage email environments where a 4-vCPU allocation has proven insufficient under production load. That typically means organisations with several thousand active mailboxes, high attachment volumes, or inbound delivery peaks that generate sustained scanning demand.

The 1-year term suits teams that have validated FortiMail Cloud as their email security platform but want to complete one full annual cycle at the 8-vCPU level before committing to a multi-year agreement. It offers full service access with the flexibility to reassess tier and term at the next renewal point. Organisations evaluating whether FC4 covers their peak-period load or whether FC5 is warranted will find 12 months sufficient to gather that data.
