**TEST:**

Kindly test the email configuration after filling up all the details for your sending server.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1**: Go to **Settings > Business Settings > Email Settings.**

**Step 2:** Add the required details

* MAIL\_DRIVER=smtp
* MAIL\_HOST=
* MAIL\_PORT=
* MAIL\_USERNAME=
* MAIL\_PASSWORD=
* MAIL\_ENCRYPTION=

You can get in contact with your hosting provider for any of the values above.

**For example,** with Gmail, it looks like below:

* MAIL\_DRIVER=smtp
* MAIL\_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
* MAIL\_PORT=587
* MAIL\_USERNAME=
* MAIL\_PASSWORD=
* MAIL\_ENCRYPTION=TLS

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** 

Some hosting disable port 587 and due to that email may not work, contact your hosting provider & they will enable it.

Use either TLS or SSL, don’t type both. Also, provide the port according to the given encryption used.
{% endhint %}

**Step 3:** After adding all the details, click the test SMS button to check if the configuration is correct.

If it gives some error, you can fix it accordingly.
