Hi @Balu K ,

  • Have tested your email functionality in the past or this is the first time you are trying to send email?
  • Have you check system entity provided in this url for email ststaus? https://success.outsystems.com/documentation/11/reference/outsystems_apis/emails_api/ 
  • have you check all the parameters? recipient email, email subject, body everything is in place, you are not missing anything? have you debugged this logic in your app?
  • have you checked the details of this error message? have you found something there?

Hi @Balu K ,

HI @Balu K ,

Are you using gmail account for send email functionality or external smpt provider?

Can you check you limit regard sending email, or do you link this new application for new personal environment for sending email? because if it's working fine for previous personal environment that means code is fine, it's only configuration or limit which we might causing the issue.

Is there way you can check the email service provider log?

Hey @Balu K ,

It seems, The email doesn’t have a valid “To” address.

That’s why you're getting: RCPT TO: <> And then: 555 5.5.2 Syntax error, cannot decode response

Check the "To" address in your logic:

  • Open the logic (Server Action) where Send Email is used.

  • Ensure that To, Cc, and Bcc fields have valid, non-empty email addresses.

  • Example:

    Email.To = GetUserById.List.Current.User.Email
    Or 
    Email.To = "someone@example.com"

    Add a Null Check / Validation Before Sending:

    Use a condition like:
    If(IsNullOrEmpty(GetUserById.List.Current.User.Email), Skip Send, Proceed)

    Hope it help you.
    Thanks
