Add Gmail SMTP Setting in your Authentix Configuration

This guide walks you through the steps of adding your Gmail SMTP settings in your Authentix Configuration. At the end of this guide, you will be able to send emails containing authentication codes to your users using your Gmail account.

Before proceeding, you need to have a Google password. Make sure to activate the two-factor authentication on your google account beforehand.

Once you have the Google password, log in your applet web console, navigate to Authentix -> Customization from the left-hand menu to create a new SMTP setting:

  • Specify the name of the setting you are about to create

  • Host: smtp.gmail.com

  • Port: 465

  • Username: your full email address such as youremail@gmail.com

  • Password: the google password just created

  • Protocol: choose SMTPS

  • Check all the radio buttons related to SSL and TLS (Auth Flag, SSL Enabled, STARTTLS Enabled, STARTTLS Required).

  • SSL Trusted Host: *

  • Leave timeout related fields with their default values

Save the SMTP setting and jot down its identifier. Update your Authentix Configuration with the newly created SMTP Setting.

That is it. You can now use your Authentix Configuration to send authentication codes via the email channel.
