X was granted access to your Google Account

  • I’ve just given Google Gmail permission to send emails via WPForms and my WordPress website.

    I’m checking to see if it’s safe that “WPForms was granted access to your Google Account”?

    Does the plugin need this level of access in order to send emails via my forms?

    Thanks

  • Hi @joecanwrite,

    Thanks for reaching out! Yes, access to your Google account is needed because the emails are sent on behalf of your Google account and will reach your ‘Sent’ directory.

    The permissions required are partly for currently functionality and partly for future functionality plans. Because of how the API works, any future adjustments in permissions needed would cause issues for pre-existing users, however the end result would be the same (that users would end up needing to grant these permissions to continue using it). So rather than making adjustments later, our team felt it was more straightforward to be clear upfront.

    I hope this helps!
