In the email integration used in the send email node, when the “From Name” field contains any text, the node fails with an error: Failed to send email: Invalid address; only sender@example.com could be parsed from “sender@example.com sender@example.com”.
When the “From Name” text is removed, the node executes as expected (but then a potentially confusing sender name appears when the email arrives (e.g. just “sender” if received in Gmail).
The AI assistant claims this is intentional which would be very weird. Can you please clarify this “situation”?
@frederikdc have you also seen this issue when using the Send email action?
Yes, this depends on the mailserver you are using. Some providers (like smtp.gmail.com) allow the name to be different from the email address. Other, providers require the name to match with the email address.
So the issue is most likely in the configuration of the mail server
Hi @frederikdc, thanks for your reply. The issue was with the “@” in the middle of the From Name string. Are you sure the Baserow email handler is parsing the From Name correctly? I thought I tried it before I raised the ticket, but I rechecked it and if I remove the @, the email goes through.
