Gmail sender setting

Hi,

My gmail account has an email address like " name@gmail.com" but it uses by default an email address that I set like “name@mydomain.com”.

When I send emails from gmail app, the sender is “name@mydomain.com” but when I use make automation, the sender become “name@gmail.com”.

Did some one know how I can fix it please?

Hi @MIEMBA and welcome to the Make community!

To specify a different sender, you’ll need to use the Email-Send an email module, not the GMail one.

The Sender option is under Advanced Settings

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

Hi @Lauren_Moineau,

Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately, your solution don’t work because this error occured:
Server response
554 5.2.3 MailPolicy violation Error delivering to mailboxes

@MIEMBA Could your email size be too large?

I think you are using an email alias to send from mydomain.com from your gmail address right? I am not sure the Gmail app will allow you to send the alias email address. I assume you don’t have a paid Google Workspace account which would allow you to do this?

You may wish to set up an email sending software like mailgun to accomplish this. It will require you to setup some DNS settings to allow you to send on behalf of mydomain.com but you will get around the limitations that Gmail sets on outbound emails from @gmail.com addresses.
