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:
If you haven't already, activate 2-Step Verification on your Google account. This adds an extra layer of security that is necessary to create an app password.
Visit Google's 2-Step Verification page and follow the on-screen instructions.
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.
