I have successfully configured the SMTP Gmail server in ignition. I have tested it too, able to send email from the ignition test option. When I try to use system.net.sendEmail in my script, not able to send email. Here is my code, ```python smtp = "smtp.gmail.com:587" myFrom = "srinisekar9899@gmail.com" subject = "Here is the email!" body = "New Ticket has been created" html = 0 recipients = ["seenudhanum283@gmail.com"] system.net.sendEmail(smtp,myFrom, subject, body, html, recipients) ``` Attached the image of SMTP server setting. ![smtp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/f/cf730aa852a2e12dcfe32802656293f323387a21.png) Kindly help me out.

Use the `smtpProfile` argument to [system.net.sendEmail()](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-net/system-net-sendEmail) instead of the `smtp` argument. When you use `smtp`, the function bypasses the profile you tested. ---

> [@srinivasan\_s](#): > > but same issue You've commented out all your code. What are you actually running? Tip: set the "from" to something like `scriptname.projectname@gatewayname.mycompany.com` so that if it starts to go mad you or your IT department will be able to find the source of the problem.

All you have done here is rename your input variable from `smtp` to `smtpProfile`. You are still passing in an `smtp` parameter to `system.net.sendEmail()`. What is the name of the SMTP profile you have configured in your gateway? You need to pass this name into the function into the `smtpProfile` parameter ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/8/c81ac614f27f32344cbbf00662d61e8f74070013.png) ---

Hi ! I tried the below code, still not able to send email. Kindly help me with your input. ```python smtp = "smtp.gmail.com:587" smtpProf = "TicketEmailServer" myFrom = "srinisekar9899@gmail.com" subject = "Here is the email!" body = "New Ticket has been created" html = 0 myuser = "srinisekar9899@gmail.com" mypass = "zgeb unjz orow hseh" recipients = ["srinisekar9899@gmail.com"] system.net.sendEmail(smtp,myFrom, subject, body, html, recipients,username=myuser, password=mypass, smtpProfile=smtpProf) ``` ---

As per my last screenshot, if you are supplying an SMTP profile argument the function will ignore smtp, username and password inputs so you don't need to supply these (nor should you be sharing your password on a public forum...) You have supplied the optional html parameter with a 0, when it is a Boolean, so it should be `False`. ---

Can you post your entire code block? I think you are still missing something. Also, have you tested the SMTP Profile to verify that it will send e-mails? ---

You might try supplying keyword arguments to the whole function instead of just the smtp profile argument. There are a lot of arguments this function can take: `system.net. sendEmail( smtp, fromAddr, [subject] , [body] , [html] , to, [attachmentNames] , [attachmentData] , [timeout] , [username] , [password] , [priority] , [smtpProfile] , [cc] , [bcc] , [retries], [replyTo] )` So instead of: `system.net.sendEmail(myFrom, subject, body, html, recipients,smtpProfile=smtpProf)` Try: `system.net.sendEmail(fromAddr=myFrom,subject=subject,body=body,html=html,to=recipients,smtpProfile=smtpProf)` Maybe even strip it down to just the required arguments and build it back up from there: `system.net.sendEmail(fromAddr=myFrom,to=recipients,smtpProfile=smtpProf)` This is assuming your `smtpProf` variable is a string with the same name as the one you defined in your gateway configuration (screenshot below). It looks like you are missing a line of code where you define this variable, unless you just didn't copy it here. If that is indeed your whole code, I think you are supplying that argument incorrectly. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/a/3a152d5473009b9ca96dcb23a67b27286bceb037.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/5/c5fbfe79f67df7a5aeb1a3fb1683d4c007756985.png) ---

Do you know that the e-mail profile works? You can test it via the web page at Config-\>Networking-\>EMail Settings, and then under "More" on the e-mail profile click test. Once you have that working, then you take the next step to getting the code working. ---

Hmmm... Are you sure you are getting to the line to send the email? Maybe stick some logging in your logic after the if, and right before the send function just to verify that you are getting to that point. And absolutely no errors at all when you run this code? Make sure to check both the client and designer. ---

smtpProfile=smtpProf was the solution for me!
