I want to configure custom SMTP using my google mail. I have a couple of questions.  
What’s username\* field? I thought that’s the email adress from which mails will be sent but that’s from\* field.  
Also how do I configure mailing in Auth0 so that every time a new user created it’s sent an email with custom email template.?

@mko22 ,

The email is sent from the `username` field. [This](https://community.auth0.com/t/smtp-custom-email-provider-from-address-not-used/78774/3) topic has the same query.

To configure the email sent to the new user, please go to Branding → Email Template → select “Verifiction Email (using Link)” or “Verification Email (using Code)” in the Template field. [This](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/email/email-templates) doc explains how to customize the email template.

Hope this helps!
