In this article, you\u2019ll learn how to change the connection type of your Gmail email account to SMTP so you can access more advanced settings and add your account to warm-up.<\/p>\n

To check your current connection type, go to the Email accounts page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(1): <\/strong>Gmail (SMTP); (2): <\/strong>Gmail API.<\/p>\n

This guide is for you if you have a Gmail API connection type.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 1. Reconnect to SMTP<\/b><\/h2>\n

On the Warm-up settings<\/a>, when selecting a mailbox, you may be prompted to change the connection type to SMTP to add your email account for warm-up.<\/p>\n

\n
\"learn\"<\/div>\n
\n

The Email Warm-up feature only works with mailboxes added using an SMTP connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the pop-up window that appears, enter the 16-digit password you created in Google account to the App password<\/strong> field. Click Reconnect<\/strong> to change the connection type.<\/p>\n

\n
\"tip\"<\/div>\n
\n

If you change your regular Google account password, your app password will be revoked. You will need to generate a new app password and update it in your Snov.io email account settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The advanced settings (SMTP and IMAP) have been pre-filled with the provider's defaults. You can now proceed with setting up a warm-up campaign for this email account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2. Create an app password<\/b><\/h2>\n

Start by creating an app password in your Google Account settings. You'll use this password instead of your regular password when connecting your email account to Snov.io.<\/p>\n

\n
\"learn\"<\/div>\n
\n

An app password is an alternative to your regular password. It allows the application you're using to connect with your Google Account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To create an app password, open the Security --><\/a> page in your Google Account settings. Scroll down to the How you sign in to Google<\/strong> section and click on 2-Step Verification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\"note\"<\/div>\n
\n

Make sure 2-Step Verification is enabled (On) before proceeding. If it is disabled, you won't be able to create app passwords.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the next screen, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select App passwords<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\"tip\"<\/div>\n
\n

If you can't find the App passwords section in your Google Account (even after enabling 2-Step Verification), use this direct link to access it: https:\/\/myaccount.google.com\/apppasswords --><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To generate a new app password, enter \"Snov.io\" (or any name you prefer) in the app name field and click Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Google will generate a unique 16-digit password. Copy it using the right-click menu or the Ctrl + C keyboard shortcut. You will need to enter it when reconnecting your email account to SMTP.<\/p>\n

\n
\"learn\"<\/div>\n
\n

If you close the pop-up window, you won't be able to view the password again. In that case, you'll need to repeat the process to generate a new app password.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
