Hi there, Fordeer again!

\
Setting up SMTP involves configuring your email client or application to use a specific SMTP server for sending invoice emails by your email service. You'll need to input details like the server address, port number, username and password.

\
Here's a general guide how to set SMTP on Fordeer PDF Invoice:

1. Go to **Automation Emails** on our app > **Email settings > Customize Email Sender**

2. Select the third option named: **Customize email service**. Here you start inputting the details into the fields our app has:

* **SMTP Server**: This is the hostname or IP address of the SMTP server. For example, [`smtp.gmail.com`](https://smtp.gmail.com/) for Gmail.

* **Port**: Usually, port 587 (with TLS) or 465 (with SSL) is used, but some servers may use port 25. Consult your email provider's documentation or the SMTP server's settings for the correct port.

* **Username**: This is typically your full email address.

* **Password**: This is your email account password, or potentially an app-specific password if your email provider requires it.

You can refer to this article to learn how to find [App password on your Google Account](https://help.fordeercommerce.io/en/article/securing-gmail-smtp-with-google-app-password-a-comprehensive-guide-v12akq/)

* **Encryption**: Choose the appropriate security protocol (TLS or SSL)

* **Sender name**: Sender name in outgoing email, for example: Flower Shop

* **Sender email address**: It will appear in outgoing email, for example: [flowershop.support@gmail.com](mailto:flowershop.support@gmail.com)

If your SMTP is correct, you will see the toast with text like the picture below:
