gmail smtp as fallback server

Hi @zenmonkey111,

I hope you are doing well.

Fall back doesn’t have the functionality to configure with APIs. If you want to use the Fall Back you can try those sockets which doesn’t contain APIs like Send in Blue , Send grid or Web Mail etc.

Can I use a “regular” gmail account to use the Fallback feature? Like [email protected]? If so, this is fine, I just need help with the settings.

Thanks!

Hi @zenmonkey111,

You can use the Google App Password Method to configure Fall Back settings to work. You can click on this link for your guidance.
