Can someone tell me how to send email using gmail account, not outlook? i have this issue

Hi @ryrytis

This should be fixed by removing the extra line break at the end of first line

{youremailaddress}

Is outlook only option. We use gmail so can you link to that?

[Nishan_Mendis_LK]

Hi. I do not have outlook. We use only google. How can you send mails using google accounts?

Hi everyone, please see a possible workaround here

I had to use Application/Browser option to use my gmail account because Outlook automation was not reliable

Hi Nishan, I did not use a specific activity that is for google. I used the Use Application/Browser activity, just like we used to access the Find Unicorn Name website. This allows me to use any type of email account, including yahoo or any others. I also had to use Click and Type into and some of the other individual actions. This is a workaround and not as simple and elegant as using the single activity Send Outlook email, but it works. The nice thing about using the Send Outlook email acti…

I’m in the same boat as lots of other folks. I don’t use Outlook, so trying to figure out a workaround with Yahoo or Gmail.

In short there is no out of the box solution at the moment for Yahoo oder Gmail but you can use the “Use Application/Browser” activity to automate either yahoo or Gmail via user interface automation.

Hi Nishan,
I used below option to send emails to my gmail account and its working as expected.
Use Gmail under Resources and add your account and then add Send Email activity to draft and send your email content.
I am new this forum and maybe you might have this solution earlier

You can use “Send SMTP Mail Message” activity.
In property panel>>> Port = 587, Server = “smtp.gmail.com”.
Logon >>
email =“your email id”,
Password =
→ go to your account settings on gmail > security > App Passwords >Create pwd for 3rd party apps(UiPath) > copy that password and use it into property panel. (Make sure to not share that password while sending your process to someone).
