When trying to demo the email sample flows, I get this error in the Email Content node: “This feature is not available with a DEMO, TRIAL, or RESELLER license”. Email features in Workflow are limited to delivery to the sender address which works fine for a reseller to demo or do a proof of concept. Why is the feature completely disabled in Automate? It does limit our ability to show a full multichannel demo or POC. Will this restriction be lifted in the official release?
That email content node is the analogue to the Render Email Content node in Workflow, which has similar restrictions in place.
Essentially, it prepares the emails, but doesn’t send them. Meaning there would be an opportunity to modify them before sending.
I’m not currently aware of any plans for a node analogous to the Create Email Content node in Workflow, which sends emails directly via the Connect Server, but I can look into it.
Our organization restricts Server platforms from having email clients, as well as most of Office365 access. It’s a security risk. Imagine I’m working on the server and decide to quickly open a browser and check my email, click a phishing link, and have now infected our server.
A native “Send Email” node will be necessary for our company to switch from Workflow to Automate.
EDIT: happy to discover the “SMTP Email” node! Now I just have to learn to use it (also happy to discover the example flows).
