Add your SMTP/email sending address

Add your SMTP/email sending address

To enable email alerts and scheduled reports on the system you must input SMTP settings for an email account. You can do this in the Reseller SMTP settings section in the admin panel.

  • Click on ADMIN, and then navigate to RESELLER SETTINGS.

  • Under EMAIL SMTP SETTINGS, click on the small edit icon to the right.
  • Enable Email: YES
  • enable  Gmail Oauth: No
  • SMTP Server: enter your SMTP server here (i.e. smtp.gmail.com, mail.mydomain.com etc.)
  • Port: enter your smtp port here
  • Use SSL: usually this is YES, but check with your provider.
  • From Email: enter the email address that will be sending the emails here
  • Password: your email account password

 



If you do not have an SMTP server for your email, you can setup a gmail OAuth or mailgun free account to get started

MailGun also offer paid plans for high volume emails, the free version will limit the amount of emails it sends per hour. 

Configuring Gmail OAuth Authentication on the platform:

OAuth (Open Authorization) is a protocol that allows users to grant third-party applications limited access to their resources without sharing their passwords.

  1. An active Google account.
  2. A project set up in the Google Cloud Console.
