Trouble Sending Email via Flow Designer in ServiceNow PDI with Outbound Mail Enabled

VenkatesanR

I would like to ask a question regarding sending mail using the Send Email action in Flow Designer on my ServiceNow Personal Developer Instance (PDI). I have already enabled outbound mail in the email properties and configured an SMTP account (for example, using smtp.gmail.com with app password as recommended). Despite this setup, I am encountering issues or would like clarification on the correct process or troubleshooting steps.

 

 

  • Given the above configuration, are there any additional steps, settings, or known limitations specific to using the Send Email action within Flow Designer on a PDI, especially with Gmail SMTP? Are there common troubleshooting tips if the Send Email action does not send mail, despite the configuration appearing correct?
