How to add a Gmail address to Recurrr
To send recurring emails from your Gmail address using Recurrr, you have to add it as a Channel. Watch this short video
or follow the steps below:
In short:
Step 1. Go to your Profile Page and click "Add a new channel". A popup will show up:
Step 2. Inside that popup, choose a name and color for this channel:
- a good name would be "Gmail" or "youremail@gmail.com";
- a good color would be red;
Step 3. In the "Email Settings" section, enter your Gmail address, and select "Gmail" as the email provider.
Step 4. A new fieldset has shown up - "Server Settings". Our system has already entered the correct settings for the
Gmail SMTP server, so leave it as-is.
Step 5. Another fieldset has shown up - "Login Settings". In here, you need to add your Gmail address and password. For
the password, you have two options:
- ⭐️ Option A. Create an app password (details):
- Go to your Google Account.
- Select Security.
- Under "Signing in to Google", select 2-Step Verification.
- At the bottom of the page, select App passwords.
- Enter "Recurrr.com" for the app password a name (or choose a different one).
- Select Generate.
- To enter the app password, follow the instructions on your screen. The app password is the 16-character code
that generates on your device.
- Select Done.
- Option B. Use your regular Gmail password. This will probably work if you don't have 2-Step Verification turned on.
We don't recommend it, though. It's safer to use Option A above. That will allow you to easily monitor / stop our
access, by just deleting that Gmail app password.
Step 6. Click "Save Channel" at the bottom of the form. Our system will verify the credentials, and show you an error if
needed. If the popup closes, it means the credentials were verified and correct.
That's it, you're done! You can now send emails on schedule from your Gmail address. Click the Compose button in the
top-right corner of the screen.
