Gmail Integration

Church Windows has updated email integration to utilize Gmail's OAuth 2.0 authentication, enhancing security in alignment with Google's latest requirements. This update replaces previous SMTP configuration methods for Gmail accounts.

Adding Gmail as Your Email Service Provider

  1. Navigate to Email Settings

  2. Select Email Provider

    • When prompted to choose an Email Service provider, choose Gmail.

    • Sign In to Google: A Google sign-in window will appear where you'll log into your Gmail account

  2. Grant Permissions
