Integrating your email account with College Pipe allows you to streamline your communication with coaches and athletes, sending emails directly from your own email account. This guide will walk you through the integration process and provide important tips to ensure a smooth setup.
Supported Email Providers: The integration works only with Google or Microsoft email accounts.
Email Sent from Your Account: Emails will be sent from your own email account, appearing as if they were written directly from there. You will also see these emails in your sent folder.
Athlete Email Integration: If your athletes are allowed to contact coaches, they may also integrate their email accounts.
Bounce Notifications: Since emails are sent from your account, you will receive notifications if an email bounces. Please forward any bounce notifications to universities@collegepipe.com so that we can update our database if needed.

Choose Your Email Provider: Select whether you are integrating a Google or Microsoft email account.
Authorize College Pipe: Follow the prompts to authorize College Pipe to access your email account. This will involve signing into your email account and granting necessary permissions.
Verify Your Primary Email Address: Ensure that the email address you are integrating is your primary email address, not an alias.
Define the Sender Name: Specify the name that should appear as the sender on your emails. This is how recipients will identify you.
Add a Signature: Create a signature that will be automatically added to all your emails. This can include your name, position, and any other relevant information.
Adjust Your Daily Email Limit: Set the daily limit for how many emails you can send. Here are the guidelines:
Personal Gmail Account and Microsoft Accounts: Set the limit to 500 emails per day.
Company Gmail and Microsoft Accounts: You can set the limit up to 999 emails per day, but it's recommended to keep it lower to avoid your account being flagged or blocked.
Avoid Using an Alias: The integration does not work with an email alias; you must use your primary email address.
Monitor Your Email Limits: Be mindful of your daily email limits to prevent your account from being flagged or blocked.
Bounce Notifications: Keep an eye on bounce notifications and forward them to universities@collegepipe.com.
Integrating your email account with College Pipe is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance your communication efficiency with coaches and athletes.
