You supply the host, port, username, and password for your own account. Because the From address is always your SMTP username, providers whose username is an email address (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Mailgun) work out of the box. SendGrid (username `apikey`) and Amazon SES (an access-key style username) will usually reject the message, since that username isn't a verified sender address.\n\n**Do I need an app password for Gmail?**\nYes, if your Google account has 2-factor authentication enabled (recommended). Generate one under Google Account > Security > App Passwords and use it as `smtpPassword`.\n\n**Can I send to several people at once?**\nYes. Put comma-separated addresses in `to`, `cc`, or `bcc`.\n\n**Why are `cc` or `replyTo` empty in my output record?**\nThose fields reflect what you set on input — if you didn't supply a CC or Reply-To address, the record carries an empty string for that field rather than omitting it.\n\n**Is my SMTP password safe?**\n`smtpPassword` is marked as a secret input, so Apify encrypts it at rest and masks it in the console and logs.\n\n**How large can an attachment be?**\nThis depends on your SMTP provider's own limits (Gmail allows up to 25 MB per message). Keep total attachment size well under that to avoid provider-side rejection.\n\n**What if the SMTP server rejects the connection?**\nThe run fails with the server's own error message (authentication failure, connection refused, timeout, etc.) so you can correct the host, port, or credentials.\n\n**Can I use port 465 instead of 587?**\nYes. Set `smtpPort` to `465` and keep `useTls` enabled; the actor connects over direct SSL for that port instead of STARTTLS.\n\n**Can I choose a different From address or display name?**\nNo. The message is sent from the `smtpUser` address exactly as entered. Use `replyTo` if replies should go somewhere else.\n\n**Does this actor store or forward my emails anywhere?**\nNo. Each run only sends the single message you configure through your own SMTP server; nothing is retained beyond the delivery confirmation record.\n", "actorDefinition": { "actorSpecification": 1, "name": "smtp-email-sender-for-workflow-notifications", "title": "SMTP Email Sender for Workflow Notifications", "description": "Send a plain text or HTML email through your own SMTP account from an Apify run.
