- This is an optional setting. If you set up SMTP, the email notification will be sent from your own email address.

- Below is an example of Google SMTP.
Step 1: Log into your Google account
First, log into your Google account here
Step 2: Enabling 2-Step Verification
To make sure that your Google account is well protected to avoid any intervention when using the SMTP service; therefore, we recommend enabling the 2-step verification offered by Google.
Here is the guide for you: Enabling 2-Step Verification
If you have already enabled the 2-step verification, then you may jump to Step 3 below.
Step 3: Generate App Password
- Then click here to generate App password
- Select Other/Custom name from Select App, give it a name such as “DO – Production Server” and then click Generate.
- Note down the application password as it will be required in the next step.
Step 4: Configure Gmail on the SMTP Add-on
- Open the app, click Settings > Notifications
- In Settings section on the left > Email provider > select Your own SMTP
- Enter SMTP config: Server/ Host, port, Encryption, Username / Email address, Password / App password
- Click Save

Enter the Gmail details as below:

- Enter smtp.gmail.com as your host
- Use port 465
- Enter Encryption SSL

- Enter your App password generated in step 3 above (if 2-Step Verification is enabled)
Note
