Now you can easily link your Google Workspace account to Instantly without a need for an app password, by enabling OAuth app access.
Starting January 2025, the option to choose “Enable IMAP” or “Disable IMAP” won't be available. IMAP access is always turned on in Gmail.
Here are the steps on how to connect Google account via the oAuth method:
Step 1: Login to Instantly and Google Workspace
Open Instantly in one browser tab and your Google Workspace (Gmail) in another.
Step 2: Access Admin Console
In your Google Workspace Admin console, navigate to "Security" > "Access and data control" > "API Control" > Manage third-party app access.
Step 3: Click "Configure new app" to add Instantly as an OAuth App.
Step 4: Paste the Client ID into your Google Workspace and click "Search".
Here's how to get the Client ID: Go to Instantly > Add New > Choose Google/G Suite > Choose "Option 2: OAuth" > Copy the Client ID
Then select Instantly. Choose "Trusted".
Step 5: Complete OAuth Setup
After configuring, "Instantly OAuth v1" will appear in your list of trusted apps.
Return to Instantly and complete the login process:
Choose the Google account you want to connect to or click "Use another account".
Allow access to your Google Workspace account.
Note: If only your workspace admin account is visible here, click "Use another account" to log in to your other Google accounts. It might be worth trying to add these accounts from the Incognito window, in case all of your Google accounts appear here.
In Incognito, your previous login sessions won't be stored, so you can easily add an account you need.
FAQ
Q: Can I connect another email account from the same Workspace?
A: You can proceed and add all other accounts from the same Workspace by using the same Google accounts connector and choosing the oAuth Method (just proceed to login after selecting the oAuth method since the app access has already been enabled once for that workspace).
