Google SMTP

Using Google/Gmail/GSuite as your SMTP Provider

Create app-specific passwords for accounts with 2-step verification on:

1. Go to Google.com

2. Click on your icon on the top right

3. Make sure you choose the correct Google Account that you want to integrate with

4. Click on Manage your Google Account

5. Click on Security

6. Scroll down further to locate the section Signing in to Google

Make sure 2-step verification is enabled. You will need to turn on 2-step verification to be able to see the App Passwords option.

If 2-step verification is missing, that means the option to allow users to turn on 2-step verification is off in Google Admin. Please contact the Gsuite admin to follow this article to enable the option.

7. Once 2-step verification is enabled, Click on App passwords

Make sure the right email is selected from the dropdown

Type password

Click on Next

8. Select the app and device you want to generate the app password for:

9. Click on Other (Custom name) and name it SMTP integration (anything works)

10. Click on GENERATE

11. Drag to copy the highlighted text and paste it as the password when integrating Gmail SMTP
