If you're not using the one-click Gmail integration, you can manually connect your Gmail account to WillowSpace using SMTP. Here’s how:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Log in to your WillowSpace account

  2. Go to Account > Integrations > Use SMTP

  3. Select Gmail from the provider dropdown menu

  4. Enter the following details:

    • From Name = Your name

    • Username = Your Gmail email address


Set Up an App Password in Gmail

To complete the connection, you’ll need to generate an App Password in your Google account:

  1. Go to myaccount.google.com

  2. On the left sidebar, click Security

  3. Under Signing in to Google, find App Passwords

    • If you don’t see it, enable 2-Step Verification first

  4. Click Select App > Other (Custom Name) and name it something like WillowSpace

  5. Click Generate and copy the 16-character password

  6. Paste that password into the SMTP Password field back in WillowSpace

Click Save and you’re all set!

✨ Tip: If this sounds like too many steps, we recommend using the Connect Gmail button instead for a faster, simpler integration.
