	For teams that use Google or Microsoft email systems, Desque supports secure authentication through OAuth 2.0. The OAuth tab allows you to configure credentials by entering a Client ID, Client Secret, and associated email address. You can also specify the sender information, including the “From Email” and “From Name,” that customers will see when receiving messages. OAuth provides a more secure alternative to basic username/password authentication, since it relies on token-based access instead of storing sensitive credentials directly. This approach ~~mirrors Zendesk’s OAuth integration and~~ is recommended for organizations that prioritize security and compliance with modern email providers.

	The SMTP/IMAP tab is used to configure outgoing and incoming email connections. Outgoing mail is handled via SMTP, where you can set the host (such as smtp.gmail.com), port (commonly 587), encryption type (TLS or SSL), username, and app-specific password. Incoming mail is handled via IMAP, with fields for the IMAP host and port (commonly imap.gmail.com on port 993).

The '''Account Settings''' page in Desque allows administrators and agents to configure their personal and system-level settings for login, authentication, and email connectivity. This section is critical for ensuring that the platform is securely connected to your email provider, properly authenticates users, and aligns with your organization’s policies. Much like Zendesk’s account configuration tools, these settings give you control over how your helpdesk communicates with customers and how your agents access the system.

== General Settings ==

The General tab provides the most essential account-level fields. Here, you can update your name, primary email address, login username, and time zone. Administrators also have the option to adjust login credentials, including resetting passwords or changing the email associated with the account. Keeping this information current ensures that agents can log in reliably and that outgoing notifications are associated with the correct identity. The time zone setting is especially important, as it affects how tickets, call logs, and reports are timestamped. Ensuring accuracy here guarantees consistency across global teams and avoids confusion in customer interactions.

== OAuth Settings ==

For teams that use Google or Microsoft email systems, Desque supports secure authentication through OAuth 2.0. The OAuth tab allows you to configure credentials by entering a Client ID, Client Secret, and associated email address. You can also specify the sender information, including the “From Email” and “From Name,” that customers will see when receiving messages. OAuth provides a more secure alternative to basic username/password authentication, since it relies on token-based access instead of storing sensitive credentials directly. This approach mirrors Zendesk’s OAuth integration and is recommended for organizations that prioritize security and compliance with modern email providers.

== SMTP/IMAP Settings ==

The SMTP/IMAP tab is used to configure outgoing and incoming email connections. Outgoing mail is handled via SMTP, where you can set the host (such as smtp.gmail.com), port (commonly 587), encryption type (TLS or SSL), username, and app-specific password.

By correctly setting up SMTP and IMAP, your team ensures reliable two-way communication with customers, much like Zendesk’s email channel configuration.

== Best Practices and Maintenance ==

Regularly reviewing and maintaining account settings helps avoid disruptions in communication. For example, if your email provider requires app-specific passwords, those should be updated in the SMTP/IMAP tab. If your organization rotates API credentials for security purposes, the OAuth tab should be updated accordingly. Administrators should also verify that agents’ general information, such as time zones and emails, remain correct—especially when onboarding new staff or transitioning roles. Keeping these fields up to date ensures that your helpdesk continues to operate smoothly, with accurate reporting and uninterrupted customer communication.
