How To Add Your SMTP Server To FuseBase #
Let’s assume that you already have an SMTP server and you know its settings. Now let’s try to add it to FuseBase.
1) Go to your organization’s settings – https://teams.nimbusweb.me
2) In the SMTP server option, select Custom Server:
3) The server settings will open, where you will need to fill in the following data:
- Server address – SMTP server address.
- Port – server port.
- Login / Password – login and password to the SMTP server (all data is encrypted)
- Sender email – the email address from which emails will be sent to members of the organization. We highly recommend using the same email that you specified for the login.
- Sender name – The name that will be specified as the Sender.
- Type – here you need to select the type of connection. Usually, this is SSL.
After all the data is entered, click on Save to save the server settings. Now, you can check the SMTP server – for this, for example, you can mention any workspace member in a page and check from which email the notification was received.
