To enable email alerts and scheduled reports on the system you must input SMTP settings for an email account. You can do this in the Reseller SMTP settings section in the admin panel.

• Click on ADMIN, and then navigate to RESELLER SETTINGS.

• Under EMAIL SMTP SETTINGS, click on the small edit icon to the right.
• Enable Email: YES
• SMTP Server: enter your SMTP server here (i.e. smtp.gmail.com)
• Port: enter your smtp port here
• Use SSL: usually this is YES, but check with your provider.
• From Email: enter the email address that will be sending the emails here
• Password: your email account password

If you do not have an SMTP server for your email, you can setup a gmail or mailgun free account to get started

MailGun also offer paid plans for high volume emails, the free version will limit the amount of emails it sends per hour.

Configuring Gmail on the platform:

First sign up for a gmail account, then navigate to the smtp settings section as directed above, then enter the following settings:

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com

Port: 587

Use SSL: YES

From Email: youremailaddress@gmail.com

Email Password: YourEmailPasswordGoesHere

Configure your gmail account to allow 3rd party apps to send email:

Google Gmail require you to allow "less secure apps" (allowing  3rd party app to send emails). 

You can find some more information for this here https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

It should look like this:

Once you have enabled less secure apps on your gmail account, send yourself a test email, it is the last option on EMAIL SMTP SETTINGS
