GC sends emails (payment notices, meeting notices, minutes, receipts…) through the sending accounts you set up. Each account has a type, depending on the email service it uses.
🧭 Which type to choose
| Your email is… | Recommended type | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 (business Outlook, Exchange Online) | Microsoft 365 Connect | Microsoft 365 Connect |
| Gmail (free or Google Workspace) | Gmail App Password | Gmail App Password |
| Another provider (your domain’s hosting, PTisp, etc.) | Basic Authentication | Basic Authentication |
The Gmail OAuth2 and Microsoft 365 OAuth2 types are still available, but they are advanced setups, only advisable if you have an IT technician:
- Gmail OAuth2 — only for Google Workspace accounts; on free Gmail accounts, access stops working after 7 days.
- Microsoft 365 OAuth2 — for those who want the setup on their own organization’s side; it requires you to renew a secret at least every 2 years.
⚙️ Setup
Go to:
Administration >> Email >> Sending Accounts
- Click Add.
- Choose the Account Type. The screen shows only the fields that type needs; follow the guide for the chosen type (table above).
- Fill in the fields common to all types:
- E-Mail: From – address shown as the sender
- Name – name shown to the recipient (for example, the name of the management company)
- E-Mail: Bcc – receives a hidden copy of every email sent (optional)
- E-Mail: Reply-To – address where recipients’ replies go (optional)
- Read and answer replies – in the new version of GC: replies to the emails sent by the account come back to the account’s own mailbox, so GC can read them. With the option on, the E-Mail: Reply-To field disappears and there is no longer a reply-to address (optional)
- Save and click Test to send a test email. With Read and answer replies on, the test also checks that the mailbox can be read.
For each type, the Tutorial button opens the corresponding guide.
⚠️ The SolidSoft email account, created by default, cannot be deleted, as it is the one that keeps communication with the GC Support line active.
📥 Where GC looks for replies
With Read and answer replies on, where GC looks for replies depends on the account type:
| Type | Where it looks |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Connect | In every folder of the mailbox |
| Gmail App Password / Gmail OAuth2 | In all mail |
| Basic Authentication / Microsoft 365 OAuth2 | Only in the Inbox: replies that rules in your mailbox move to other folders are not seen |
📩 Linking to Documents
After a successful test, go to:
Administration >> Email >> Documents
- Link the account you want to use to each document type.
