How to Link Website, SendLayer, and Gmail?

    Hello,

    To be frank, all this SMTP stuff is a bit over my head, and I’m having a difficult time finding the right help guides for what I’m trying to accomplish.

    I want contact form messages from my site to land in my Gmail inbox, and I want to be able to reply to these messages from my gmail account.

    Pretty sure I’ve already “linked” my site and my sendlayer account, with the Wp Mail SMTP plugin, by adding the SendLayer CNAME records to the DNS records in my CP, and by adding my SendLayer API key to the Wp Mail SMTP plugin.

    But I haven’t really done anything on Gmail yet, and can’t find any guides that explain how to integrate Gmail into this equation (my Gmail account does utilize my website domain instead of @gmail.com.)

    Is what I’m trying to accomplish doable? Is using SendLayer a redundant step? Do I n eed to add CNAME records for both SendLayer and Google to the DNS records on in my site’s Cpanel? This three-way integration is making my head spin.

    Any help with this, or even a point in the right direction of a help guide or tutorial would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi @dnacannon,

    Thanks for reaching out! Could you please get in touch with SendLayer support and they should be able to verify whether you have added their DNS records correctly.

    Once you configure a mailer correctly, you can send your website email notifications to any email platform, including Gmail, and you don’t have to set up Google DNS records.

    I hope this helps. Thanks!
