Setting Up Email Configuration

Setting Up SMTP Email Configuration

Description:
Setting up your email properly helps make sure your customers receive booking confirmations, updates, and password reset emails from your business email address.

Steps to Set Up Email (SMTP)#

1. Go to Email Settings#

• From your Dashboard, click on Profile Icon
• Look for a button called SMTP Config.

2. Fill in Your Email Details#

You will need to enter the following:

• SMTP Host – This is the email service you’re using (e.g., smtp.gmail.com for Gmail).

• SMTP Port – This is like the “gate” your emails go through. (Use 587 if you’re using TLS)

• SMTP Suername – The email you want to send messages from (e.g., yourname@yourbusiness.com)

• Email Password – The password for your email.

• From Name

• Reply-to – Set this if you want users to reply to a different email address instead of the one from which the email was sent.

• If you’re using Gmail, this should be a special App Password, not your normal email password.

3. Save and Test#

• Click the Save button to apply your settings.
• Then click Test Email to send a test message and check if everything is working properly.

📧 Special Instructions for Gmail Users#

If you’re using a Gmail account:

• You must create a special App Password instead of using your normal Gmail password.
• Make sure:
  • Two-step verification is turned ON in your Google account.

You can find step-by-step instructions on how to create an App Password in the Gmail help section.

💡 Tips#

• Double-check everything! If anything is entered incorrectly, your emails won’t send.
• If you change your email password later, don’t forget to update it here too.
• For the best results, use an email that matches your website (e.g., info@yourbusiness.com) to look more professional.
