Connecting your Mailbox to Jobforms

If you are using a mail server, such as Google Apps (Gmail), Outlook 365, or even just through your web hosting, then you can connect your mail to Jobforms. Once you do that, you'll be able to receive notifications when someone completes your forms.

It's super simple, you just need your email address and your email password.

This is all you need to do...

STEP 1

Go go.jobforms.io and login > Admin Panel

NOTE: If you are not an Admin on the account, you won't see the Admin Panel option, you can instead click HERE to connect your email.

STEP 2

Go to Integrations then Connect Email

STEP 3

If you're a Google or Outlook user you will be taken to a familiar login screen (see Google example below). Here you need to enter the email and password you use to log into your email.

Accept or Allow the permissions Ninjodo needs to allow your send and receive emails etc from inside the platform.

You should then be redirected back to the integrations page/ Admin panel area. You can see that the integration was successful if you see the green checkmark:

EXTRA STEP FOR GOOGLE USERS

You may be presented with a rather scary looking screen like the screenshot below. If you see this don't be alarmed, this is just Google being extra cautious that it is in fact you and you are wanting to connect your account. All you need to do is click on Advanced and Go to Ninjodo as seen below. This will get you to the login screen described in step 3.
