MacroDroid and OAUTH examples

[Airton Luciano]

Have you enabled the password option in settings?

No

You will only be prompted when you try to invoke the send email action.

I run the macro many times but never was prompted to give gmail permission

The better result that I had was using INTENT. It creates a new message but doesn't fill SUBJECT and TEXT.

In your Send Email action, did you choose Gmail or SMTP?

That "AuthenticationFailedException" error in your log looks like it might have come from an SMTP attempt. I have always used the GMail option...

 

[Airton Luciano]

I tried both options. (see log)

With Gmail there's no error message at log and the popup comes in English.

With SERVER there's an error message at log and the popup comes in Portuguese.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Thanks for clarifying. Does the email address shown in MacroDroid's Settings > EMail Settings look correct? And do you have any permissions denied to MacroDroid (in Android's Permissions settings screen for the app)?

If all that looks good, one thing you could try which might provide additional info to @MacroDroidDev (as well as possibly work in the interim) is to install the MailTask plug-in onto your phone. Once it's installed, open it, accept all its permissions, tap the "Authorize Gmail" (or similar wording) link at the top of the screen, and approve (in Google's security screen) MailTask for sending emails on your behalf. Then, back in MacroDroid, add an action to call MailTask:

1. Select Tasker/Locale Plugin in the Applications area of the action list
   
2. Select MailTask, then Send email from the plugin list
   
3. Fill out the email recipient, subject, body-text, etc.
4. Test the action

See what errors occur, if any, at any step along any of that...

I have difficulties setting up send email action on my main phone too, even though I have done that multiple times on different devices.
I have it set up on my other phone currently too and it seems to work fine so I am not sure what it is, but it feels as if it was lacking a little bit of reliability.
I ended up using mailtask as well (it also allows for sending body as html, I dont think macrodroid does that, right?)
End its easy to trigger that grant permission window from that app, if I was about to change email I want to use to send emails through macrodroid action its not that easy from my experience

Hi.

I installed MD at my wife's phone and the problem with sendto and intent gmail is the same. Even with both alternatives (Gmail and SMTP).

Today I will try with mailtask.

Thanks a lot.

Hi.

Sorry for not answering sooner.

I tried today and it worked like a charm with mailTask.

Thanks a lot
