Logging In & Getting Connected to Levitate

Logging In to Levitate


You'll receive an email from Levitate App with the subject Welcome to Levitate!

This is what it'll look like. You'll choose Set up your account.

Step 1: Enter your First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number.


Step 2: Create a password

Step 3: Connect Levitate to your email server. This will vary based on the email provider you are using! You will also have the option to choose if you'd like for Levitate to pull in any contacts from your email address book. You can also choose if you'd like those contacts to be Public or Private.


Next, you'll choose which email address you'll be connecting to. At this step, with some email providers, you might have to enter your email address and the password for logging in to access that email address.

And then you'll continue to start the authorization process. Need more help getting connected? There are finer details below!

Once you've authorized the connection to Levitate with your email provider, you'll reach Step 4: set up your signature and/or continue to the Dashboard to get started.


Connecting your Email with Levitate

Levitate works with your email server to send messages directly from your email address. In addition to logging in to Levitate with your Levitate password, you must periodically log in to your email server with your email address and email password in order to utilize Levitate.

When to Connect?

There are a few scenarios that prompt you to enter your email address and email password:

1. The first time you set up your Levitate user: Step 3

2. When there is a disconnection between your email server and Levitate


Note: We recently completed a partnership with AOL and Yahoo utilizing a different connection technology.  AOL and Yahoo users that may be experiencing frequent disconnects are encouraged to contact us to discuss whether this connection technology is right for them and have their accounts switched over.

Connecting your Email to Levitate

Please note that there are various types of email servers. You may be using Google, Office365, Exchange, or IMAP.

FAQs

Q: Why did my email disconnect in the first place?

A: Common reasons include password changes, permission revocations, expired tokens, or email provider security updates that require re-authentication.


Q: Will I lose any data if I disconnect and reconnect?

A: No, your contacts, campaigns, and sent message history are preserved. You're simply re-establishing the connection between Levitate and your email provider.


Q: How often do I need to reconnect my email?

A: Most connections remain stable long-term. You should only need to reconnect if your password changes, permissions are revoked, or you see a disconnection notification.


Q: Can I use Levitate while my email is disconnected?

A: You can still access Levitate and view your contacts, but you won't be able to send emails or sync new email activity until you reconnect.


Q: What if my company uses single sign-on (SSO)?

A: SSO connections may require your IT administrator to re-authorize the Levitate app. Contact your IT department if standard reconnection steps don't work.
