Outbound email connectors

When to use these connectors

To send emails, you need to create an Outbound Email Connection. Etlworks includes connectors for Gmail, Office 365, and a generic outbound email connector. 

Read how to send emails in the Etlworks Integrator.

Create a Connection

Start creating an Outbound Email Connection by opening the Connections window, clicking +, and typing outbound into the filter field in the Select Connection Type  gallery, then select one of the available Outbound Email connectors.

Outbound Email for Gmail

Use this connector to configure an outbound email connection for Gmail. The connector uses OAuth2 for authentication. 

• User: the user name, for example first.last@yourcompany.com.
• OAuth token: click Sign in with Google to generate an OAuth token that will be used for authentication. 

Inbound Email for Office 365 (Exchange Online)

Use this connector to configure an outbound email connection for Office 365 (Exchange Online). The connector uses OAuth2 for authentication. 

• User: the user name, for example first.last@yourcompany.com.
• OAuth token: click Sign in with Microsoft to generate an OAuth token that will be used for authentication. 
• Prompt OAuth Consent: enable to request OAuth consent on behalf of your organization. The user must be an admin.
• Tenant: enter Azure tenant ID. It is only required when you log in with the guest user. 

Outbound Email

Use this connector to configure outbound email connection for email servers other than Gmail or Office 365 (Exchange Online).

• Host: the outbound email server host.
• Port: the outbound email server port.
• User: the user name , for example first.last@yourcompany.com.
• Password: the password.
• Start TLS: if true, this enables the use of the STARTTLS command (if supported by the server) to switch the Connection to a TLS-protected Connection before issuing any login command.
• Enable SSL: if true, the Etlworks Integrator will use the SSL port by default.

Common Connection parameters

• From: the from email address.
• To: the to email address.
• CC: the cc email address.
• BCC: the bcc email address.
• Subject: the email subject.
• Message: the message body. If an outbound email Connection is used in a source-destination pair, the message body will be automatically populated as part of the FROM - TO transformation.
• Header: an optional header that will be added before the message body.
• Footer: an optional footer that will be added after the message body.
• Folder: the name of the folder on the email server to copy the message to.
• File: the name of a file to attach to the message.
• Content Type: an optional email content type, for example, text/ HTML.
• Content Encoding: optional character encoding for the message body. Use it when you wish to re-encode the message (for example, to UT-8). No encoding means there will be no additional encoding.
• Properties: additional comma-separated Connection properties in a key-value Format. Read more about JavaMail Connection properties.
