ERPNExt deployed in Google Cloud and everything is working perfect except Email configuration.
Email Service of company domain : GSuite
Transaction Mail sender : Sparkpost
To configure the email account from the company domain, system request to add a Email Domain. While adding Email Domain it ask for SMTP and IMAP address. In this fields tried to provide the imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. When the save button is clicked it takes long time and fails. During this save process will application try to contact the email server ? Since Google Cloud block all the email ports this may not work. So what is the best way to solve it?
If have to use Sparkpost how to provide the incoming(smtp/imap) email server ?
Hi @Arvindwill I think you’ve been doing this all wrong. My ERPNext is hosted on google cloud as well and i use GSuite and email setup is by far the easiest configuration i had to do.
Before you configure the domain, ensure you enable connection to unsecured apps from your google admin. Force this policy on all accounts to ensure that no restriction exists.
to configure your email domain, it doesn’t matter if it is @mycompany.com so long as the mail service is GSuite, your incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com and your outgoing is smtp.gmail.com
ensure you also check the boxes Use IMAP and Use SSL under incoming and Use TLS under outgoing.
Also, there’s no need to specify the port as you did in your screenshot as since selecting Use TLS tells the system to select the default TLS port which is either 465 or 587. This is also standard for google cloud so you don’t need to configure any firewall parameters to allow connection through that port.
If you follow these steps above, your email domain setup should be saved in seconds unless of course there’s something else that has not been disclosed in this thread. See a screenshot of my configuration for reference:
I found that creating a GMail domain doesn’t work. So configure the email account directly, select enable outgoing to reveal the smtp settings and enter them there. Leave the domain and service selection options blank. It should work that way. See screenshot below:
Go to Setup > Email > Email Account
Create a new Email Account
Select Service as SendGrid
Set your SendGrid Username and SendGrid API Key as the password
On saving the Email Account, SendGrid Integration app will attempt to create a Webhook in your SendGrid account
This route is what do and then i got this empty page see picture
Follow the bread crumbs on the top left corner of this screenshot, you will see new email. Fill in the required information (Leave the Domain and Service field blank if your mail is hosted by Gmail). Check the box Enable Outgoing and a new set of field will appear for you to enter the smtp information for Gmail. Be sure to check Use IMAP and Use TLS and enter the correct port numbers as shown the my previous screenshot:
