Adding a New Email Account
  1. Log into your LeaduxAI dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Email Accounts section.
  3. Click on "Add New Email Account".
  4. Choose Connect with any SMTP provider option.

You'll see a form titled "Connect via SMTP". Fill in the following details:

Field Description
First Name Your first name or the name you want to appear as the sender
Last Name Your last name
Email The email address you'll be sending from
Password The password for your email account
SMTP Host The address of your email provider's SMTP server (e.g., smtp.gmail.com for Gmail)
SMTP Port The port number for your SMTP server (common ports are 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL)

Email Account Setup

Make sure to check the "Enable SSL/TLS" box if your email provider requires it.

If you're unsure about your SMTP settings, check your email provider's documentation or contact their support.

After filling in all fields, click "Connect".

LeaduxAI will attempt to establish a connection with your SMTP server using the provided credentials. If successful, your email account will be added to LeaduxAI, and you can start using it in your campaigns. If you encounter any issues, ensure that:

  • All the information is entered correctly
  • Your email provider allows SMTP access (you may need to enable it in your account settings)
  • You're using the correct port and security settings

Managing Email Account Settings

Once your email account is added, you can configure additional settings:

  1. Go to the Email Accounts list in your LeaduxAI dashboard.
  2. Find the email account you want to manage and click on the edit icon.

You'll see a form like this:

Using Email Accounts in Campaigns

When creating a new campaign in LeaduxAI:

  1. Go to the "Create Campaign" section.
  2. In the configuration tab, you'll see a list of your connected email accounts in the Sending Email Accounts options.
