Your chatbot can send an email using your Gmail account
On Botnation, it’s easy for your chatbot to send information by email! You just need to set up the Gmail plugin on your Chatbot settings.
Then click on the Gmail feature on the design interface.
You can then configure the feature.
You can then send an email from your chatbot by writing it naturally and including {{…}} variables if needed.
ATTENTION:
The sender (“from”) must be an email address of yours, the one of your gmail account theoretically, otherwise Gmail will refuse the sending.
It is you who sends an email to someone and not the other way around, so you don’t pretend to be someone else.
However, you can send an email to yourself if you want to send information collected from a user.
TIP:
If you use {{…}} variables to generate your email you can use the Botnation variable {{NEW_LINE}} which will force a line break in the body of your email message.
