Why do we need a new Gmail Account?

Your new Gmail account will work behind the scenes of your new website to facilitate:

  • Google Maps: your new website property map is powered by Google Maps.
    • In step 2 below you will be asked to add billing info to your Google account.  This is required by Google.   Please click on this link if you wish to read about further details by Google.
  • Google reCAPTCHA: your new website is protected by this powerful free software to protect your site from abuse.


Step 1: Create new Gmail account

  • If you have an existing Gmail account, please ensure you are logged out of your Google account from your internet browser.
  • Go to https://www.google.com/gmail/about/# and create a new Gmail account.
    • NOTE: While you are setting up your new email account, please do NOT enable 2-step verification.  Your Bluetent Implementation Specialist will need to access your Gmail via the credentials you establish.  
  • Go back to your Basecamp project and provide us with your new email address and password.  For example:

bluetent.yourvactionrentalcompany@gmail.com

PW: Y0urVacationR3ntalC0!

  • Please stay logged into your new Gmail account for the next step.


Step 2: Link billing to your new Gmail account


  • Follow the steps to add a billing account.  Note: Bluetent will not need this particular billing information.  Again, this is required by Google.
  • Make sure you link your billing account to the appropriate Project, which is usually named after your vacation rental site or PM company.
