Steps to Connect

To allow Gravity SMTP to send messages from your website via Zoho Mail, follow these steps:

1. Create a Zoho Mail Account.
   If you don’t already have a Zoho Mail account, you can create one at Zoho Mail Signup.
2. Obtain the Region from your Zoho Console.
   This will be required in settings to create the link between Zoho Mail and your website via Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to find the Region in your Zoho Mail API Console.
3. Obtain your Client ID.
   This will be required in settings to create the link between Zoho Mail and your website via Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to find that Client ID key in your Zoho Mail API Console.
4. Obtain your Client Secret.
   This will be required in settings to create the link between Zoho Mail and your website via Gravity SMTP. Refer to this help guide for instructions on how to find that Client Secret key in your Zoho Mail API Console.
5. Add Authorized Redirect URI to the Zoho Mail app.
   This is an essential part of the OAuth 2.0 authentication process and is used to handle the response from the authentication server. See this article for a description of the Redirect URI.
6. Complete the Gravity SMTP Settings screen.
   Go to Gravity SMTP → Settings → Integrations and click the settings cog on the Zoho Mail card. This will open a pop-up modal with all the fields required for SMTP to connect with Zoho Mail. See this article for a description of these settings.
7. Authorize the client via OAuth to use the app.
   You are now ready to sign in with Zoho Mail. Click the button and follow the instructions to sign in with an email account that has been authorized to use the app.

7. Complete the Gravity SMTP Settings screen again.
   You should be returned to the Zoho Mail settings screen, showing that you are connected. Complete any additional integration settings. See this article for a description of these settings.

8. Click the “Save Changes” button.
   You should be returned to the Settings card page after saving, and the Configured text should show at the bottom of the settings card for Zoho Mail. If your settings card still shows Not Configured, check your settings and the steps above to ensure everything has been completed.

9. Enable the integration using the on-off toggle (if you are ready to use it).
   Click the toggle on the settings card to turn on the Zoho Mail integration. This will show the integration as Connected. You can then test using the Gravity SMTP Tools to send a test email.

You are now ready to use Gravity SMTP with the Zoho Mail integration.
