SMTP

Configuration

To connect to an SMTP data source, follow the instruction below:

1. On the Data sources page, click Connect, and select SMTP in the Data sources list.

2. Give your data source a name and specify the required credentials:

   1. In the Host field, provide your server address. The SMTP server address typically looks like smtp.example.com or mail.example.com. For example, for Gmail the SMTP server address is usually smtp.gmail.com.

   2. Next, determine the port number. SMTP servers usually listen on port 25. However, some providers may use alternative ports like 587 (submission) or 465 (SMTPS). You need to know the correct port number to establish the connection.

   3. Specify your username (for most SMTP providers, it should be your email address) and password.

Certain SMTP providers employ a multi-factor authentication process, so you might need a unique password exclusively for authenticating your UI Bakery application. Gmail SMTP requires the creation of an app password rather than your regular password.

1. Click Test connection to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click Connect Datasource to complete the setup.

Usage

Once the data source is connected, you can start sending SMTP Requests.
