Connect Gmail and Google Interac e-Transfer Email to Kweeve


Must churches use Gmail or Google emails for Interac e-Transfer, as it's one of the most popular email services in the world. Using our guide, you can connect your Gmail to Kweeve to sync Interac e-Transfer donations.

However, if you are having issues connecting your Gmail to kweeve, there may be a couple of reasons for the issues and some solutions to try.

Enable IMAP for your Gmail Account

It is important to note that you may need to enable IMAP access in your Gmail account settings before connecting your Interac email to Kweeve. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and select Settings from the dropdown menu.
3. Navigate to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
4. Under the IMAP Access section, select Enable IMAP and save your changes.

Once you have enabled IMAP access and configured your email client settings, you can connect your Interac email to Kweeve and automatically sync your Interac e-Transfer donations.

Manually configure IMAP Settings in Kweeve.

Use the configuration below to link your Interac e-Transfer email to Kweeve manually.

IMAP Host:

imap.gmail.com

Requires SSL:

Yes

IMAP Port:

993

Email Address:

Your full email address

Password

Your Gmail password

Use Google App Password.

Google has introduced App Passwords for Gmail. App Passwords are unique, one-time-use passwords that allow you to sign in to your Google Account and connect to Gmail using an email client that supports IMAP. App Passwords differ from your regular Google Account password and are only used for specific apps or devices.

To generate an App Password for Gmail, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Google Account.

2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select Manage your Google Account from the dropdown menu.

3. Navigate to the Security tab.

4. Scroll down to Signing into Google and select 2-Step Verification.

5. At the bottom of the page, select App Passwords.

6. Enter "Kweeve" in the name field and select Generate.

7. Copy the App Password and use it to link your Interac email with Kweeve.

It is important to note that App Passwords are only valid for a limited time and can only be used once. If you must sign in to the same app or device again, generate a new App Password.

In conclusion, Kweeve creates a seamless way to help streamline your Interac e-Transfer donations. If you encounter any issues during the setup process or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Kweeve's support team for help. With these tools in place, you can quickly and securely receive donations for your church.
