Sending emails via your Gmail account

Sending emails via your Gmail account

For a lot of use cases it is nice to be able to send emails from Figaf to your email. It could be.
  1. To get information about updates of Cloud Integration Tenants
  2. To get information about alerts of failed iflows
  3. To get info you need to approve a transport
The setting here shows how to send emails via this. 

For rollout of Figaf you should be using your own SMTP server and not send the data via your Gmail. For PoC the gmail appoach is a way to handle hi.
  1. Open Google App passwords and sign in to your account.
  2. Enter your desired app name like Figaf, then select Generate.
  3. Copy and save your the password for the next step. 


In Figaf goto Configuration -> Configuration and fill in the follwing information. 


  • Email Address: {your email address}
  • Hostname: smtp.gmail.com
  • Port: 587 or 465
  • Username: {your Gmail address}
  • Password: {your Gmail app-specific password from before}
  • Security Protocol: TLS or SSL

In your BTP config, bat file or configuration file add the setting irt.smtp.starttls.enable=true.  We should later allow you to select Email protocol as STARTTLS

After you are done with the PoC and got a real password besure to back and delete the email.
