Setting up Google SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is important because it allows you to send emails using your Google account from 3rd party applications (like Prosperna), scripts, or other email clients that do not have their own email servers.

Why is it important? By setting up Google SMTP, you can use Google's email servers to send emails to your customers, which is reliable and efficient and avoids the risk of your email being flagged as spam.
