Hi,
When using email tool to send to 1 or many recipients, we are getting this error (attached). We intend to send to many but testing with 1 user in TO field already fails. The SMTP set up and FROM is one that has been used before many times so no issue there.
Using 2019.4 Alteryx version.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @thisceci ,
I've reproduced your error in a example of mine and I received that exact message when I removed the 'Use SMTP Authentication', so in my case, it was a matter of user and password need.
Let me know if this makes sense to you.
Best,
Fernando Vizcaino
Thanks @fmvizcaino for testing it out. Worked here too once used creds.
can you please let me know which credentials we need to use?
Username/password of the person creating the workflow - in our case, AD username/password. Just as important is the SMTP address. Your IT admin should provide this. Those 3 need to be present.
Blocked out info for security.
1. Just make sure the address there is correct. Your IT admin can confirm.
2. Enable Use SMTP auth
3. Enter the AD username of the email you have in #5
4. Enter the AD password
5. (From field) Make sure the email here is spelled correctly and is linked to the AD in #3.
To anyone who happens to see this for another reason, check your SMTP IP address provided, you may be working with an email IP that is only configured to email internally (in case you are looking to send emails externally) I am currently working through it right now to test to see if maybe I need to point to an external email server IP that allows external email communication. I will post an update if I have solved the solution.
