Send email action through Gmail SMTP

[zsgugli]

Hi,

I think I set the action up correctly, it only fails because Gmail would require a 2FA for the first-time use.

When I run the Workflow, it only throws an error and does not prompt me to pass the authentication.

Is there a way to set this up?

Regards

Hi @zsgugli ,

Please try:

1\Turn on IMAP

2\Turn on 2-Step Verification and create your app password

1. Open your Google Account.
2. In the navigation panel, select Security.
3. Under “Signing in to Google,” select 2-Step Verification 
4. Create your own app password

3\Create a new SMTP connection

• SMTP Server Address :   smtp.gmail.com
• User Name:                     XXXX@gmail.com
• Password:                       Your APP Password
• SMTP Server Port:           587
• Enable SSL:                      Yes

Best Regards,

Bof
