Gmail connector is getting a blocked message when sending

[reshma]

Hi All!

Have an issue with the Gmailconnector. When I am using the Gmail app as a connector in my Workato recipe, the mail message is being blocked and I'm unable to connect the respective gmail account in the recipe.

Please see attached screen shot for reference. Anyone know how to overcome this in Workato? Just an FYI, I am attaching a CSV file to the message. Have tried fiddling with my gmail settings but same issue. Thanks so much!

Hey Reshma, Are you trying to connect your personal gmail id?

Hi Reshma,

Go to your Gmail "Manage Account" --> Security

Turn Off the 2-way authentication

Turn On the Less secure Apps

then, Reconnect form Workato and hope it should works
