This actually saved my butt!! I was having nothing but problems with two of my client websites getting mail delivered through Outlook accounts no matter what we did. Instead I created a gmail and then used this plugin and instantly everything was fixed!! Thank you so much for the plugin as well as for the very clear instructions on how to do the gmail SMTP setup.

There is no "MAKE EXTERNAL" option anymore only "PUBLISH APP" is this the same or what should I do?

If Google changed their page then you can follow the publishing steps, it should have you specify during the publishing process that you want it to be external.
Great tutorial! I set up everything as explained. However, I still wasn't getting notified. Turns out they went to my sent box because the From email was myself! I'm using Google Workspace so it's not really feasible to create a separate account just so I can receive those emails. I'd like to keep it within my domain so I don't want to use my personal email either. Any tips?

1. Does this mean the emails delivered will have to be from a gmail address? Or can you use your own domain's address? 2. Where can you see your deliverability stats, usage per/mo stats, etc? Thanks!
@wpforms
7 ай бұрын
1. You should be able to set up your domain address on Gmail so you can use that as your email. 2. You can see the deliverability options with WP Mail SMTP on the documentation page below: wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-wp-mail-smtp-verifies-email-delivery/
What should be used where required by the organization?

That should give a list of options or no option depending on if you use workspaces or not. You would choose based on the options that you have available.

You would want to check the scopes of your API if you added there as that is likely where it would require Google's approval before you can publish. If you didn't add anything there you may want to try creating the API again in case this is a hiccup on Google's end.
