How to Connect Your Gmail/Google Workspace Inbox to Revli via App Password


Connecting your Gmail/Google Workspace inbox to Revli requires creating an App Password. An App Password is a 16-digit passcode that allows apps or devices to access your Google account. It's a secure way to ensure your email connection remains protected.
​

Step-by-Step Guide:

1) Enable IMAP in Gmail:

  • Go to your Gmail account you wish to connect.

  • Click the gear icon for Settings, then navigate to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.

  • Click "Enable IMAP" then click "Save Changes"

Enabling IMAP allows Revli to access your emails securely.

2) Set Up 2-Step Verification:

3) Create Your App Password:

  • Type "app passwords" into your Google Account Search Bar and select (this option only appears if you have 2-Step Verification enabled).
    ​

  • Select "Select App" and choose "Other".

  • Type "Revli" as the name for your App Password and click "Generate".
    ​

4) Copy and Use the App Password:

  • A 16-digit App Password will be generated and displayed. Copy this password.

  • Return to Revli and enter your email address.

  • Paste the App Password into the designated field and click "Connect".

Important Security Note:

Keep your App Password confidential and secure. Do not share it with anyone not authorized to access your email account.
​

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you encounter issues:

  • Ensure IMAP is enabled in your Gmail settings.

  • Verify that 2-Step Verification is active for your account.

  • Double-check that you have correctly copied the entire 16-digit App Password.

  • Double-check that you are logged into the correct Gmail/Google Workspace account when creating your App Password.

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you can securely connect your Gmail or Google Workspace inbox to Revli using an App Password. This method ensures a secure connection while maintaining the integrity and security of your email account.
