How to Connect Your Email Account via OAuth on WebPrez Dashboard

Understanding OAuth Email Connection Requirements and Accessing Your Dashboard

Before you begin connecting your email account to WebPrez, you'll need to ensure you have access to your email provider account (Google or Microsoft) and are logged into your WebPrez dashboard. OAuth (Open Authorization) is a secure method that allows WebPrez to send emails on your behalf without storing your password.

To get started, navigate to your WebPrez dashboard by logging in with your credentials. Once you're logged in, you'll see the main dashboard interface where you can access all your account settings and features.

Navigating to Your Profile Settings and Locating the OAuth Configuration Area

Now that you're in your dashboard, it's time to access your profile settings where the OAuth configuration options are located.

1. Look for your profile section - this will be the display of your name and email in the top left
2. Click on your name to access the profile settings
3. Once in your profile settings, locate and click the OAuth Settings tab on the far right

The OAuth Settings tab is a new addition to WebPrez that provides a dedicated space for managing your email connections. When you click on this tab, you'll see the OAuth configuration interface where you can add, view, and manage your email account connections.

You should now see the OAuth Settings page, which will either show your existing connections (if any) or provide options to add new connections. This page also displays important information about your email sending capabilities once connected.

Initiating a New Email Connection and Selecting Your Email Provider

With the OAuth Settings page open, you're ready to add your email account connection. This process starts by initiating a new connection request.

1. Locate and click the + Add Connection button on the OAuth Settings page
2. A dialog box titled Add OAuth Connection will appear
3. You'll see options to select your email provider - choose either Google or Microsoft depending on which email service you use
4. After selecting your provider, click the Continue button to proceed

The provider selection screen displays clear options for both Google and Microsoft. You'll be redirected to your email provider's secure login page.

Important note: Make sure you select the correct provider that matches your email account. If you use Gmail or Google Workspace, select Google. If you use Outlook, Hotmail, or Microsoft 365, select Microsoft.

Completing the Authorization Process with Your Email Provider's Security Prompts

After clicking Continue, you'll be redirected to your email provider's authorization page. This is where you'll grant WebPrez permission to send emails on your behalf. The exact screens you see will depend on whether you chose Google or Microsoft.

For Google Users:

1. You'll see Google's account selection screen showing your logged-in accounts
2. Select the email account you want to connect (it will show your email address or name)
3. Click Continue to proceed with the selected account
4. If you see a warning message about WebPrez not being fully verified with Google, this is normal - you can safely continue as WebPrez is in the process of verification
5. Review the permissions WebPrez is requesting
6. Click the Allow button to grant permission for the connection

For Microsoft Users:

The process is similar for Microsoft accounts, though the interface will look different. You'll need to sign in with your Microsoft credentials if not already logged in, then grant the necessary permissions.

Security Note: During this process, you're not giving WebPrez your password. Instead, you're providing a secure token that allows WebPrez to send emails through your account with specific, limited permissions.

Verifying Successful Connection and Reviewing Your Sending Limits

Once you've completed the authorization process, you'll be automatically redirected back to your WebPrez dashboard. Here's what you should expect to see:

1. A success message will appear confirming "✓ Gmail account connected successfully" (or Microsoft account if that's what you connected)
2. The page will show a brief countdown message like "Redirecting in 5 seconds..."
3. You'll be returned to your OAuth Settings page where your new connection is now visible

Understanding Your Email Sending Limits

After successful connection, the OAuth Settings page displays important information about your email sending capabilities:

• Rate Limit: This shows how many emails you can send within a specific time period
• Daily quota usage: Displays how many emails you've sent today versus your daily limit
• Reset time: Shows when your daily quota will reset for the active OAuth connection

Important: These limits are set by your email provider (Google or Microsoft), not by WebPrez. Different account types may have different limits. For example, free Gmail accounts typically have a limit of 500 emails/day vs Google Workspace accounts that have a limit of 2000 emails/day.

What to Do Next

With your email account successfully connected via OAuth, you can now:

• Send emails through WebPrez using your connected account
• Monitor your daily usage to stay within limits
• Manage or remove connections from the OAuth Settings page

If you encounter any issues during the connection process or need to troubleshoot a failed connection, check that you have the correct permissions in your email account settings and that third-party app access is enabled in your email provider's security settings.
