Nope, i havent pushed the testbutton 75 times, not 150 … But if i did, i would prefer that the emails and push notice came shortly after. ---

I don’t understand. You said it worked when testing with only the email part: > [@Blysprutan](#): > > Testing just the email-part in the flow as JPe4619 suggested works. So we can say that the email-part definetly works ---

When testing without the Logic part it works. ---

But does it run from itself as it should when the flow is triggered? You are absolutely not clear in what happens when which makes it very difficult to try to understand and solve this. ---

For the record: did you or did you not do a PtP 2 days ago like @JPe4619 advised? Because it should have solved the problem then already i assume… ---

I did the PTP as JPe Asked me to do, but nothing changed at that time. ---

Yes, no one can use gmail smtp any longer. It is not an error of the email sender app! You’ll have to find another email smtp provider ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Yes, no one can use gmail smtp any longer. It is not an error of the email sender app! Only the “less secure apps” feature has been disabled, it’s still possible to use Gmail from third-party software (using app passwords). So it _is_ an app issue. ---

Hi, I cannot get the app/an email send flow to work. NOT using Gmail. Settings test shows success. Flow card is just showing circling icon but not sending an email when testing. Anyone managed to get this working on current SW version? Or any alternative? I want to send the image of our doorbell cam via mail when someone is ringing. BR, Tom ---

Thanks! As said, I am not even using Gmail. But after rebooting my Homey the app works with my email provider. The circling icon during test is still not changung to the green checkmark but my flow with sending the doorbell picture is working. BR, Tom ---

Ah I didn’t read carefully enough 😉 The flow test with the circling icon not changing to green is odd, but the app works just fine indeed. ---

Just for others, I couldn’t get this working. The config panel of the app gives a test function, which gave an ok then what I think was a queue-type token, but always failed. A reboot of homey fixed this and now sends fine, though the same message appears on the testing of the app prior to the reboot. Summary: reboot seem to kick this app into action [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/send-email-when-triggered/34814.md?page=1)
