If you are using Google Workspace or Gmail account you may need to whitelist SurveyLab. Please read this article for more information about SMTP relay.

Some email programs, including Gmail and Outlook, require the activation of 2-component login for SMTP to work properly. You can read more about it on the Google Workspace / Gmail and Microsoft Office 365 / Outlook online help. For Google Gmail, you can also disable Captcha.

Functionality is available in the Advanced, Professional, and Enterprise plan.
