How To Send Emails Using Flogo Apps in TIBCO Cloud Integration

Communication in our daily life is incredibly important, so why should that be any different when you’re building integration processes? Sending emails is still considered an important part of day to day operations. For example when errors occur in your integration flows, you might want to send an email. In this tutorial I’ll walk you through sending an email, and in my case I’ll use Gmail as provider.

Note: you might need to create an ‘App Specific Password’ if your account uses two-factor authentication

Rather than a lot of text, I thought it would be nice to see a lot of pictures this time around :)

Create a new app

Give the app a name

Choose the Web Integrator App type

Create a new flow

Give the flow a name and select the Timer to start

Click on the newly created flow

Add a ‘Send Mail’ activity

Configure the properties

Note: This slide uses Gmail, though you can use any other mail provider as well

App specific passwords

If your email account uses two-factor authentication you need to create an ’App Password’ like here for Gmail

Add receivers

On the ‘Input’ add the recipients (comma separated if you want more than one)

The subject

The next step is to add the subject line

Your message

Finally input the message that you want to send

Push the App

Conclusion

In a few seconds your app will start and send you an email! Let me know your thoughts on this tutorial either by commenting below or posting something on the TIBCO Community!
