Gmail activation tutorial
As of May 30, 2022, access to uContact and other applications will not be allowed through the setting of less secure applications. Due to this, the steps to follow to configure a Gmail account that allows its use in uContact will be shown below.
Configuration from Gmail:
To allow the use of the Gmail account in a uContact campaign, you must enter the Google account settings and within the security tab enable two-step verification.
By clicking on the Gmail account icon, a menu will be displayed and there we will access the Manage your Google account button.
On the next screen, we will enter the Security menu and then Two-Step Verification.
After you have enabled it, we head to the search bar at the top and enter “App passwords”.
When entering, the Mail application is selected and the device with which said account will be used is selected.
Note: Selecting the device “Other (custom name)” allows the account to be left with an associated name of your choice. Otherwise, it will be left with the default name of the selected device.
Google will automatically generate a password, as seen below:
This password is the one that will be used in the Password field in the Email campaign in uContact.
Password must not contain blank spaces.
