To access your Gmail account on WINK, you'll need to generate and use an app password. An app password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a non-Google app or device permission to access your Google Account.
!!App passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on!!
- Go to your Google Account.
- On the left navigation panel, choose Security.
- On the 'Search' panel, search for App passwords.
If you don’t see this option:- 2-Step Verification is not set up for your account
- 2-Step Verification is set up for security keys only
- Your account is through work, school or other organisation
- You’ve turned on Advanced Protection for your account
- Enter your gmail account password
- Click on Select app and choose Other (custom name).
- Enter WINK as App Name and click on Generate
- It will generate your App password to use in WINK to sync your gmail account.
- Copy this password ( you will have to paste it into your WINK store's settings.)
- Click on Done.
In WINK, Under your Store's settings :
- Go to Company >> Stores >> Practices&Stores
- Select and open the location
- Go to the outgoing email tab
Enter your gmail account smtp settings :
- email Option : SMTP
