Sending emails directly from SiteLink is an awesome feature. You can send welcome emails all the way to payment reminders.
If you use Google Gmail or Google Workspace, this is how you do it!
Note: Gmail addresses end in "@gmail.com", while G Suite addresses end in your company's domain name, ie. "hello@storagepug.com". Both types of accounts are known as your "Google Account". This will be the account that SiteLink will use to send emails.
