Amplemarket Email Warmup is Amplemarket’s delivery optimization service that helps you build, protect, and optimize your email deliverability. This article will provide step-by-step instructions on how to enable it for Gmail.

We offer two different alternatives to connect your mailbox to our warmup network:

1. Connecting via Google OAuth (recommended)
2. Connecting via App Password

Connecting via OAuth is recommended as after the initial "one-time setup" process is done, any user on your Google Workspace will be able to connect their mailbox to Amplemarket's warmup network without the additional overhead of having to generate an app password.

Connecting via Google OAuth (recommended)

To connect any mailbox of your Google Workspace to Amplemarket's warmup network, a "one-time setup" process needs to be followed.

The foolproof way to verify if this procedure is to follow the instructions described in the Connecting a mailbox via Google OAuth section. If you see the following error screen:

That means that Google Workspace's initial setup process hasn't been complete successfully. You'll need to be a Google Workspace admin to complete the initial setup procedure.

Google Workspace's initial setup

This process only needs to be done once per Google Workspace and you'll need to be a Google Workspace Admin to complete it.

2. Click on "Configure New app" 
   
   
   
   
3. Unless explicitly instructed otherwise by our support team, paste the following client ID and click "Search". You should see an app named Amplemarket Warmup appear on the screen:
