The @objectif-lune/node-red-contrib-smtp-mail is designed specifically to handle pre-rendered email content generated by the “email content” node (which means content rendered by OL Connect templates). If you require a more generic email node, you can install the node-red-node-email using the Manage Palette option in the Node-RED menu (upper right corner). I think this should meet your needs.
I understand this, truly. Thanks for the info on the existing smtp-mail node.
However, if the “attachments” array, the body property, and the text property could take PATHS and/or expressions in addition to pointers to the filestore, we’d have a single Connect node that could handle Connect Email sections as well as simple, direct emails.
