Setup Gmail as an SMTP server for Confluence Cloud

[Sophia David]

Hello, everyone!

In the process of setting up Gmail as the SMTP server for Confluence Cloud, we encountered an undescriptive mistake, such as 'Something turned out badly. I am actually checking out the information accuracy at any time I click 'Test association.'

My attempts have involved certifications for a record with MFA, an application secret phrase for a record with MFA, qualifications for a record without MFA, and a record with 'less secure application access' enabled (which does the job for different devices using SMTP). Despite trying all of the above, I'm getting the same error message on 'Test association' no matter which port I use.

Out of the box (so to speak) there isn't a way to do this.

Confluence Cloud supports anonymous access (so you can have public content), but there is no way to add something like a basic auth password to the site. Maybe you could talk to https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/instant-websites/cloud/overview about adding that feature to their Instant Websites add-on?
