NLT-FlowNinja My email id id mailto:XXX@Abc.com. I want to trigger an email from my SharePoint with some dummy email id like mailto:yyy@abc
But I got an error message "Not authorized to send on behalf of others. Could you please explain bit detail?
You're not using the SMTP connector.
- Used the SMTP connector. Needed to use an Gmail account. Changing the Sent to does not work. It still shows the Gmail account as the sender.
PJ Galvin If you're using Gmail you need to follow specific steps to allow relaying (sending email as a non-Gmail user). You can find the steps https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491?hl=en. Your issue is not a Power Automate issue, the SMTP connector is working as designed, the issue is due to improper relay configuration on the Gmail side.
I used my own email server, you can do the same or use another 3rd party one like send grid or smtp2go, etc.
