Quick Answer
How do you connect Gmail to BizStackPro?
Enable Google 2-step verification, create an app password, then go to Settings → Email Services in BizStackPro. Add Gmail or the available Gmail/SMTP service, enter your Gmail address and app password, save the connection, and send a test email.
Connecting Gmail for Email Service
Gmail can be connected to BizStackPro as an email sending service. When Google 2-step verification is enabled, an app-specific password is typically used so BizStackPro can connect without requiring your main Google account password.
Proper setup is important because authentication problems, mismatched sender information, and Gmail sending limits can affect whether messages send successfully.
Test the connection before relying on it
After saving the Gmail connection in BizStackPro, send a test message and confirm that it is delivered as expected.
