Configuring Email Accounts
On this Page
Overview
You must create Email accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. You can create an account in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:
Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Snaps in the Email Snap Pack work with different accounts as per the following table.
Snaps | IMAP | POP3 | SMTP | Supported Protocols |
---|---|---|---|---|
✔ | ✖ | ✖ | SMB, SFTP | |

Configuring Email Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer
Drag an Email Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.
Selecting an existing account
SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:
In the Account tab, click the icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use.
Click .
Creating an account
In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.
Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog window associated with the account type appears.
Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide information required for each account type, see the article: IMAP, POP3, and SMTP Accounts
Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.
Click Apply to complete configuring the email account.
SMTP accounts cannot be validated before sending any email due to the nature of the SMTP Servers. Therefore, no Validate button is provided in SMTP accounts.
Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.
Configuring Email Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager
You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.
Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.
In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click > Account > Email, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type appears.
Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.
