Configuring PHP Mailer

2min

Example of setting up PHP Mailer in Passwork to send mail notifications via Gmail:

  • Sender's email — specify the e-mail address from which notifications will be sent;
  • SMTP host — enter the address of the Gmail SMTP server;
  • SMTP port — set the 465 port, which is used for secure SSL connection;
  • Encryption — select the SSL encryption type to protect data transmission;
  • Use without authentication — do not select the "Use without authentication" option, because sending emails via Gmail requires authorization;
  • User — specify the user name (mailbox login);
  • Password — create an Application Password for the mailbox and paste it into Passwork;

Note to self.

To create an app password, you must enable two-step authentication in your Google Account.

  • Use debugger — is recommended to be enabled to see possible errors when using "Email for test".
