Resolution
Steps to set up an SMTP service:
Ensure 2-Step Verification is enabled on the Gmail account.
Go to Manage your Google Account → Security
- Search for “App passwords."
- Create a new App. It will generate the password in the Google account. (Copy this password for future use in SDV)
- In SDV, go to Studio > Administration > Configuration. Under E-Mail --> SMTP configuration details, fill in the required details:
- Username – The email account used for authentication with the SMTP service.
- Hostname – It should be smtp.gmail.com, as this is Gmail’s SMTP service used to send emails.
- Password – The password (or app password) for the email account used for authentication.
- The From property is set to the same SMTP username given above.
- In SDV, navigate to
/lib/util/SendEMailand runSendEmailto test the configuration. This will facilitate the use of the SMTP service application we have created to send the system Email. e.g of SendEmail parameters:
SendEMail(NULL, NULL, 'name@xyz.com',NULL, NULL, 'Hello World', 'TEXT_PLAIN', NULL);
