Options​

  • Authentication Type - Specifies the method of authentication to connect to the mail server. Choose between Basic Authentication or OAuth2 Authentication.

    • Basic Authentication - Requires a username and password. The password typically isn't the email password; instead, you must generate an Application Password through your email service provider.
    • OAuth2 Authentication - You'll need to obtain the OAuth2 Client ID and Client Secret from your email service provider.

  • Mail Server Credentials - Credentials necessary to authenticate the connection to the mail server.

  • OAuth2 Token Credentials - This is required only when OAuth2 Authentication is chosen. A Document Category Type credential, containing {'client_id': '<your_client_id>', 'client_secret':'<your_client_secret>'}, should be created within a vault.
