SMTP Configuration for Knime Server (Send Email)

[Gabriel2020]

I urgently need your help, I’m setting up a flow where it always shows the error “Execute failed: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.google.com, port: 587, try adjusting the smtp timeout settings” I’m using the corporate email from my company that is google domain and even so I can’t, I will leave attached print of the flow.

I would also like to validate with you, if my flow is correct I wanted to send it in excel format if possible, can you help me?

Hi @Gabriel2020 ,

You will most likely need to enable the following setting “allow insecure /less secure apps”:

Less secure apps & your Google Account - Google Account Help

Also, you may want to just check with your company’s internal team to make sure you are using the correct configuration for the smtp settings.

Thanks,
Zack

Hello @Gabriel2020
Also taking into account what @ztrubow suggests (that’s a very important step), you should use the smtp.gmail.com SMTP Host. That is the correct smtp configuration for a google account.

This is an example of a send email node that I use daily with a Google account (sorry I can’t show the email)

Please give it a try and let us know if it works.

Cheers

Eventually you want to talk to your local IT, too.

For example when using our company wide VPN I cannot connect.to external SMTP servers like Google or my own.
