We are using a send email action in some flows. When entering a plain 123@example.com email adress, the follow error is returned:
One or more email adresses was invalid (Domain contains illegal character)
As per servicenow documentation about Send Email action, it should be possible to enter email adresses here.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello,
I forgot to update this question. I made a case on ServiceNow Support on this issue. They replied back this is an error in chrome/edge version 105. This problem should not exist in other browsers (i.e. firefox).
Possible workarounds:
- Enter a placeholder email adress, save and test. Then change the email adress to the desired one, and save again.
- Copy-paste the email adress in the field instead of typing it.
- Use a different browser (Chrome and Edge both have the issue).
By the way, we are also on San Diego but I don't think its version related.

Hi @Bart Jan Bultma,
I have tried the same in my PDI .
I created a flow with an action - sent email and keep the "To address "- 123@example.com .
It is working as expected without any error.
Please find the screenshot for the same.
Please mark it correct and helpful if it solve your query.
Thank You !
Regards,
Nandini

Hello Nandini,
I understand that it would work on a PDI. OOTB this should work, so I don't understand why it doesnt work in my instance. I don't know what could be blocking this, so my question is:
What could be blocking this functionality in my instance?

I am getting the same error. I wonder if this error is version related. We are on San Diego, yours?
