Setting Up Email Notifications with GMail or Google Work Accounts

Here's the steps to use a personal Gmail account or Google work account to send SMTP notifications from Events2HVAC.

Also, you may need to make sure you have a "strong" password for Google to allow smtp connections from other apps.  Also you might need 2 step verification enabled for some of these steps to work.

2. Create a new app password.

3.  Use this password with your gmail address as the SMTP user login in Events2HVAC options.
