Setting up E-mail notifications for the Gmail mail service

Always use "Application Passwords" for authorization. See instructions. Instructions for setting up smtp from Gmail

To receive notifications about missed calls by email, you need to configure the SMTP client. Detailed information about notifications in MikoPBX is reviewed here. As part of this instruction, an example of setting up missed call notifications for the Gmail mail service will be considered.

  1. Enter the IP address of the MikoPBX PBX in the browser and go to System → Mail Settings

SMTP Client Settings for Gmail service:

  • SMPT host - smtp.gmail.com

  • SMPT port - 465 (Customer Service port)

  • SMPT login and Sender address- the E-mail from which messages about missed calls will be sent

  • SMPT Password - the email password required for authorization

  • Encryption Method - Use TLS

  1. Save the entered settings and proceed to setting up your email account. A feature of the Gmail service is that access to your account is automatically denied to untrusted applications, which include MikoPBX, so you need to manually allow access to these applications (setup instructions are posted here).

  2. Go back to System Mail Settings. We will send a test letter to the e-mail of any service. In case of successful testing, a test email will be sent to the email address you specified.

You can read about how to set up a letter template to create an E-mail notification here.
