Using Outlook, Twilio, or Gmail

• If using version 26.1 and later, see how to use Outlook for emailing in Sage 100 Contractor
• For version 25.2 and later, sign up for a Twilio email account and send email with Twilio
• Set up Sage 100 Contractor to use a Gmail account
   UPDATED: Twilio no longer offers free email accounts.  You can register for a 60-day trial but must choose either their Essentials, Pro, or Premier pricing plans after the trial period ends.  We recommend updating to Sage 100 Contractor 26.1 or later to take advantage of proper integration with Microsoft Outlook.
