#### OAuth Email Setup
Paperless-ngx supports OAuth2 authentication for Gmail and Outlook email accounts. To set up an email account with OAuth2, you will need to create a 'developer' app with the respective provider and obtain the client ID and client secret and set the appropriate [configuration variables](configuration.md#email_oauth). You will also need to set either [`PAPERLESS_OAUTH_CALLBACK_BASE_URL`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_OAUTH_CALLBACK_BASE_URL) or [`PAPERLESS_URL`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_URL) to the correct value for the OAuth2 flow to work correctly.
Specific instructions for setting up the required 'developer' app with Google or Microsoft are beyond the scope of this documentation, but you can find user-maintained instructions in [the wiki](https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/wiki/Email-OAuth-App-Setup) or by searching the web.
Once setup, navigating to the email settings page in Paperless-ngx will allow you to add an email account for Gmail or Outlook using OAuth2. After authenticating, you will be presented with the newly-created account where you will need to enter and save your email address. After this, the account will work as any other email account in Paperless-ngx and refreshing tokens will be handled automatically.
### REST API
You can also submit a document using the REST API, see [POSTing documents](api.md#file-uploads)
