Importance of Enabling SMTP AUTH for Zendesk
Why is enabling SMTP AUTH important for Zendesk Sell integration?
Enabling SMTP AUTH is crucial for the integration of Office 365 email with Zendesk Sell because it allows the application to authenticate and send emails on your behalf. Without it, the integration will fail, resulting in a 'Cannot Authenticate' error.
SMTP AUTH, along with IMAP and SMTP, must be enabled by your Office 365 email admin. These protocols are often disabled by default, so it's important to check and enable them to ensure smooth email synchronization and sending within Zendesk Sell.
