--- version: "2026.1.0" language: "en" --- # E-mail Settings Leapwork can send e-mails in several ways. For example, when configuring a schedule, you can add an e-mail action to forward the schedule results to recipients. Another method is using the [Send e-mail building block](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/building-blocks/data-driven/send-e-mail.md) as part of a flow. Leapwork supports two ways to connect to an email server: * Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Server * Open Authentication (OAuth) **Notes:** * SMTP is default approach for sending an e-mail. * E-mail settings would be available if you are logged in as an administrator. ## SMTP Server SMTP is a basic authentication protocol for sending emails through servers from one machine to another. To send emails, Leapwork requires access to an SMTP server configured in the Email settings. Make sure to coordinate with your mail and network administrators to ensure the SMTP server is accessible and that you have the required credentials to send emails. ![image-20260610-134943.png](https://docs.leapwork.com/__attachments/a_6e74e0ef5ea21adc435d12f0dbb2e8d1acb50fbe3eadf58291beb68ec9543d82/image-20260610-134943.png?cb=af2522a7cd944f1cb6e11f8be65fd2ac) **Note** : The screenshots on this page use the **Elegance Design** , introduced in **2025.3**.

This configuration is set in the E-mail settings section of Leapwork's settings. **Note:**Contact your mail and network administrators to ensure Leapwork can access the OAuth configuration and that you have permission to send e-mails.
