Step-by-Step Guide
Gather Your SMTP Details
To connect your email account, you'll need the following details, which you can obtain from your email service provider:
SMTP Server Address: This varies by provider (e.g.,
smtp.gmail.com,smtp.outlook.com, etc.).
SMTP Port Number: Typically 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL. Confirm with your provider.
Username: Usually, your full email address (e.g.,
[email protected]).
Password: The password for your email account or an app-specific password (if applicable).
Log in to Interceptly
Navigate to the "Accounts" section in your Interceptly dashboard.
Click "Add New Account" or select an existing account to modify.
Enter SMTP Settings
Email Address: Enter your email (e.g.,
[email protected]).
SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server address provided by your mailbox provider.
Port Number: Use 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL). If neither works, check with your provider for confirmation.
Encryption: Choose TLS or SSL based on your provider’s recommendation.
Authentication: Ensure this is set to "Yes" or "Enabled."
Test the Connection
Once the details are entered, click "Test Connection".
Interceptly will verify the settings and confirm the connection.
