Mail Settings

Connect an email provider (Gmail or SMTP) so Wendor can send emails and run automations on your behalf.

WAWritten by Wendor Admin

Settings > Mail Settings

Visit this tab to connect an email provider - Gmail or SMTP - so Wendor can send booking confirmations, questionnaires, invoices, reminders, and other automations on your behalf. You only need to connect one provider, and you can switch or update it later.

Before you start

You'll need credentials for the provider you want to connect:

  • For Gmail - a Google account you can sign in to (no app password needed; Wendor uses Google sign-in).
  • For SMTP - your provider's host (e.g. smtp.gmail.com), port, username (full email), and password ready. For Gmail via SMTP you'll also need 2-Step Verification on and a 16-character App Password generated.

Open Mail Settings

  1. Click your profile in the top-right and choose Setting.

Option A - Connect via Gmail

The quickest way to connect. Wendor uses Google sign-in, so you never enter your Google password into Wendor.

  1. In the Email Settings card, leave Connecting via Gmail selected.
  2. Click Connect via Google Account.

Tick Select all (or both individual permissions) and continue.
  1. You're returned to Wendor and the card switches to the connected state - "You have an email provider connected. You can edit your preferences if needed." - with the account avatar and "Connected to your email address".

Option B - Connect via SMTP

Use this to connect any email provider that supports SMTP (including Gmail via an app password). You'll enter your server details manually.

  1. In the Email Settings card, choose Connecting via SMTP.
  2. Fill in the four SMTP fields (see below). The Connect SMTP button sits in the top-right of the card.

Fields

  • SMTP Host (required) - your provider's outgoing mail server, e.g. smtp.gmail.com.
  • SMTP Port (required) - a valid port number greater than 0, e.g. 465. Whole numbers only.
  • SMTP Username (required) - must be a valid email address (your full email).
