Emailing from GP Using Gmail

Posted on by 1,675

All:

We have a situation in which our end-user organization is using Gmail as its primary email service (vs. Exchange).  Is anyone aware of whether one can email things such as Purchase Orders to Vendors from with Dynamics GP using Gmail instead of Outlook/Exchange?  If so, how?

Any help is much appreciated.

Best,

Todd M Bowlsby

    Hi AdamH. Realizing that the above post is over three years old (and, unfortunately, the GP to Gmail integration issue persists), do you still distribute a product that works with GP  and Gmail? I am a Senior PM for a company in Canada who is looking for such a solution. ljonespmp@gmail.com

    Thanks,

    Luke

    AdamH,

    Can you send me your business card.  We may need to look into a way to send email from GP to Gmail.

    Thanks,

    Hi Richard,

    Our solution is a product we distribute so I can't really post it as a solution here

    We have a solution we use to send emails from GP using GMail and other hosted email solutions.

    In short, we have a tool that gets installed that works with GP (or other SQL Server based databases) and we can generate emails or files based on specific events in the system.

    We could create an event based on user requirements and then when that happens emails will be sent to the specified recipients containing the attached PDF.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks!

    Adam,

    A number of people would like to connect to an alternate email.  Is the fix you mentioned too big to post here?

    Hi Todd,

    As Jonathan mentioned, you can integrate Outlook to GP if you use Outlook however if you are only using the GMail web client then this won't help.

    We have an alternate solution that can handle the sending of documents from GP automatically and it can use a GMail account to do so. We currently have users doing this for things like Sales Confirmations, etc.

    We can set it up in a variety of ways depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

    I will send you my business card through the forum here if you want to send me an email with some more details about the use case I can get you some more information on how we could solve it.

    Thanks,

    Adam

    Hi Todd,

    Dynamics GP is only supported/tested with Outlook. You may get Gmail to work but it would not be supported. I would check out the following KB:
