Setting up an app password is crucial for maintaining the security of your Gmail account, especially when using third-party applications. This password allows apps to access your Gmail without compromising your main account credentials. If you’re troubleshooting issues or looking for tips on managing your Gmail, such as how to delete an autofill email address in Gmail, understanding app passwords is an essential step in maintaining control over your email interactions.

Step 3: Set up Google Workspace Account on GrowMeOrganic

1. Login to your GrowMeOrganic dashboard.

2. Go to  CRM > Senders (SMTP) > Connect a SMTP (sender)

3. You’ll see a new pop up. Enter your Gmail account credential (scroll down to fill in the complete form)

With free Gmail account you can send 150 emails per days but first make sure to warm up your email if it is a fresh domain. To send more emails, you can either create multiple Gmail/Google Workspace accounts or use services like Amazon SES (extremely cheap) to send a lot of emails.
