Send email to a specific email address

[Neo Andersson 230]

Hi

Can anyoine assist a little bit please. Is there any way, i can send an email to a specific email address? / so not to a user's email, but to a random email address?

I couldn find any option for this.

I think this is not possible. You have to program mail over HTTP (via Gmail API) for example. The downside is that you have to store the auth tokens in variables and that can be a protentional security risk.

 

In my test lab I have the Google API with oAuth working, I can write data to a Google Sheet for example, but I don't have the time to make it user friendly and put it on the web. But that indicates that it is possible with Google.

 

This is one way, but native on the HC3 is for now a no go as I know.

You could set up a new HC3 user with a Gmail address. Then go into the Gmail mailbox and setup email forwarding to your random address?

@Neo AnderssonHi, for this you can create an offline user. Lock below. Here you can put in any mail adresse. Than use it in the hc for mail messages.

Thanks, but i this leads to the same sutiation. I was looking for a solution where i can give the email address in my LUA code, to send an email to, and not the user ID. This way we need to give the user ID in block scenes or LUA scripts and not the email address. Thanks anyway

Got another idea. If your provider still supports SMTP mail over port 25 you can create a socket application that sends the RAW mail commands. I tested this and it works!
