Connectivity: Email

Overview

Email connectivity allows you to send email with information imported or exported via AWS-SES (Amazon Simple Email Service) or the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

Once you have added at least one operation to your module, you will no longer be able to change the selected Connectivity Type and/or Service, but will first have to remove all the operations you have created.

How to connect an account

After defining the connectivity type, the next step is to choose the authentication type, which in the case of Email is Service. Only after these settings have been made will you be able to add a new account, as well as select, edit or remove one of the previously registered accounts.

To add a connected account, click on "Connected account" and then "Add connected account".

Follow the steps according to the type chosen in Service (authentication type):

AWS-SES

When you choose the "Add connected account" option, the following modal will be displayed:

Fill in the details:

1. Account name: name of the registered account

2. AWS Access Key ID: user to access AWS-SES

3. AWS Secret Access Key: password to access AWS-SES

4. AWS Region (optional): AWS availability zone

After filling in the details, click on "Create account".

That's it! Your connected account has been created and can be used by other modules and flows, appearing among the options of accounts configured in both cases.

SMTP

When you choose the "Add connected account" option, the following modal will be displayed:

Fill in the details:

1. Account name: name of the registered account

2. Host: depending on the email service; examples: smtp.gmail.com (Gmail) and smtp.office365.com (Outlook);
3. Port;

4. Email;

5. Password: app password (Gmail is an example, requires the use of MFA) or password (Outlook, for example)

6. Sender is different from the User: by enabling this option, a field will open for adding the user.

After filling in the details, click on "Create account".

That's it! Your connected account has been created and can be used by other modules and flows, appearing among the options of accounts configured in both cases.

Finally, click on "Save changes" to configure your module settings.

Important: after saving the changes, it will no longer be possible to change the Connectivity type and/or Authentication type (Service).
