SMTP Configuration


What is SMTP configuration and how can it help us in WodGuru? Here we're explaining everything you need to know about connecting your own mailbox using SMTP.



What is SMTP and how can it help us?


SMTP protocol is responsible for sending messages to the mail server.


In WodGuru, this means that emails will be sent directly from your inbox. You will have full control over the deliverability of your emails and will be able to send emails directly from your email address.


SMTP configuration in WodGuru


We can enable it in Settings > Sending messages tab, and there you will find the SMTP Configuration button



After clicking it, you will see a form in which you must enter the data for your SMTP mail server.



You will find out which data you need to put in the form from the provider of your domain and e-mail.


What if there is a connection error?


  1. Try to type different port numbers one by one.


  1. Make sure (for the Gmail) that you have enabled the "Allow less secure apps" option in your Gmail account settings.


  1. If any of those helped, try to connect on both of those sites and see if the test worked:


https://www.smtper.net/

https://www.gmass.co/smtp-test


If both sites return an error, and you're sure that the data you've typed is correct there may be a problem with the connection of the host providing SMTP on the side of your outgoing mailbox.


If there is no error on either of those sites, please contact us via chat - the problem may be on our side.


How to connect gmail to WodGuru?


Generate application password.


In order for your emails to be sent from your gmail.com account, you need to generate a special SMTP password.

Generate your App password please refer to this instruction: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

You need to have 2-Step-Authentication for that email first. If you don't have it enabled yet, please set it up, using the instructions in the link above 😊

SMTP user name: Your email address (yourmail@gmail.com)

SMTP password: 16-character App password generated in step 1.

What if I don't use Gmail? What is my host and port information?


There are many various e-mails domains, and it would take forever if we would try to write down every single one in here.


You can find it by googling it, or you can always feel free to contact us on our chat, and we'll do what we can best to help you with that and make it easier for you 😊❤
