   When the OAuth client created dialog appears, click OK.

5. In the left-side menu, select Audience, and then click Add Users.

   

6. Enter the email address to be used for address setting in the SMTP template, and then click Save.

7. In the left-side menu, select Clients, and then click in the Actions column to display the client's details with download options.
