Why do I need a Gmail account to use Repunzel?

When you're getting started with Repunzel, you might wonder why a Gmail account is required. There's a specific technical reason for this requirement that actually benefits you as a user.

Direct-From-You Communication

Repunzel requires a Gmail account because we use Gmail's systems to send emails through your own account. This means:

• Your submissions appear to come directly from your personal email address

• Recipients see your actual email in their inbox, not a message from "repunzel.com"

• Your correspondence maintains a professional, direct appearance

Maintaining Your Professional Identity

When sending submissions to industry professionals, it's important that your communications appear to come directly from you. By using your Gmail account:

• Recipients can reply directly to your actual email address

• Your submission doesn't get filtered as a third-party service

• You maintain full ownership of the communication thread

• Your professional identity remains at the forefront

Email Authentication

Gmail's authentication system also helps ensure your messages are delivered successfully and aren't marked as spam, which can be crucial when reaching out to busy professionals.

Account Security

Rest assured that Repunzel follows strict security protocols with your Gmail connection. We only use the necessary permissions to send emails on your behalf and don't access other parts of your account.
