Send Email stopped working

[WCmore]

For the past 36 hours, all of my “Send Email” commands no longer work.

For example, this simple test command:

Sends no email, and returns this error:

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Same here. I usually get a email with my solar stats from the day before at 4am. Errors for the last 2 days.

Strange how it appears to have occurred at the same time Gmail was cutting off IFTTT integration

Gmail - IFTTT integration to end on March 31, 2019

On March 31st, Google is implementing changes to their API ecosystem that will impact the Gmail service on IFTTT. Unfortunately, this change means that all Gmail triggers and the Create a draft action will be removed from IFTTT. The Gmail actions Send an email and Send yourself an email will remain intact. Please sign in to view which of your Gmail Applets will be affected. We’ve long had a good relationship with Google and we support their efforts to improve privacy and security, though we u…

I thought about that too, but mine stopped 8 hours before the 31st.
Has anyone tested emails sent to a different domain yet?

I am having the same issue, email is being sent to a gmail hosted domain. Stopped on Mar30.19.

@Robin was getting in touch with @ady624 to update Mailgun problems impacting the forums, seems that issue extends to the dashboard as well.

I spoke to Adrian and he was busy at the time, he was going to look at it the next morning and must have got side-tracked.

I’ll chase it up.

Same problem. No email going out.

I am having the same problem with “Error sending emails” since 3/31. Looks like the last successful email sent from a piston was on 3/30 at 7:30 am central time. I have done some testing and it happens with both gmail hosted emails as well as others to so not sure it is completely related to Google change.

Notice - Forum and webCoRE emails are down

NOTICE Please note that our email provider (mailgun) is currently down due to excessive use which has pushed us over the rate limits (max 10k emails per day). For whatever reason, the restriction was not lifted after 24 hours!! @ady624 is working on the problem but for now, emails generated by this forum or via webCoRE pistons will not be sent. The biggest culprit appears to be the forum… with over 1.3 million emails sent so far! In preparation for when emails start working again, and to pre…

Update:

Our email system is back up and running now, thank you for you patience!!

Please check your forum settings and turn off any email notification settings you don’t need… this will help us avoid further downtime in the future.

Hello Robin,

First, thanks for your great work! I am new, and have a ST and a WebCore account, with the same email address. Will my email address automatically be used when setting up pistons to send emails? I am currently struggling to get a simple piston to send me any emails. Trying to figure out what I am doing wrong here. Thanks again!

[Robin]

Your forum accounts have nothing to do with your ST account or webCoRE instance.

Here is an example piston that uses emails. If light is turned on it sends one message, turned off sends another:

The emails have been out of commission for the past week or so…
They are back up now though.

I took the comment “I am currently struggling” to mean @pseager was struggling after the email system was restored… who knows lol

[pseager]

You are right, I still can’t get emails to send regardless of how I write the piston. This is after the email service restoration. I wrote a simple test piston to send me an email if a light is turned on, and nothing ever sends. Thanks for your hep with this!

[jkp]

I just created a piston to send myself an email and it worked. sent it to my gmail.

Try changing your piston above to switch changes to on

[pseager]

Just re-wrote my piston like yours, and it is working now!! Not sure why the other one didn’t work, but I will take it. Thank you so much for helping me out!
