In send email action in a flow, a plain email returns error 'DOmain contains illegal character'

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.

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.

I wound up using the Send Notification action which works perfectly in conjunction with an Email Notification using a predefined template.
