Support Notifications - How To Configure Email Notifications

Gmail Configuration Example

Before using Gmail to send alerts and notifications, configure the sign-in security settings through one of the following two methods:

1. Enable 2-Step Verification and use an App Password (Recommended). An App password is a 16-digit passcode that gives an app or device permission to access your Google Account. For more detail about this topic, please refer to this Google official document.
2. Allow less secure apps: If the 2-Step Verification is not enabled, you may need to allow less secure apps to access the Gmail account. Please see the instruction from this Google official document.

Then, use the following settings for the mail server properties:

Smtp Port=25
Smtp Host=smtp.gmail.com
Smtp Sender=${Gmail account}
Smtp Password=${Gmail password or App password}

Yahoo Mail Configuration Example

Similar to Gmail, configure the sign-in security settings for Yahoo through one of the following two methods:

1. Enable 2-Step Verification and use an App Password (Recommended). Please see this Yahoo official document for more detail: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html.
2. Allow apps that use less secure sign in. Please see this Yahoo official document for more detail on this topic: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN27791.html.

Then, use the following settings for the mail server properties:

Smtp Port=25
Smtp Host=smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Smtp Sender=${Yahoo account}
