 * Hi,
 * I am trying to setup Gmail as email host but am struggling with it.
   In your [documentation](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-gmail-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/?utm_source=WordPress&utm_medium=plugin-settings&utm_campaign=liteplugin&utm_content=Gmail%20documentation#project)
   you describe to define [https://connect.wpmailsmtp.com/google/](https://connect.wpmailsmtp.com/google/)
   as authorised redirect URL but google cloud console does NOT allow URIs containing
   a path (/google/) and also they must not end with ‘/’.As a consequence, I cannot
   set Gmail up correctly.What can I do?ThanksMarkus

 * Hi [@markisu72](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markisu72/),
 * Thanks for reaching out! You need to add that URL under the “Authorized redirect
   URIs” section.
 * In case it helps, please follow [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7wd016ARSU)
   tutorial, and you should be able to configure the Gmail mailer accordingly.
 * I hope this helps. Thanks!
