Sending emails using GMail SMTP with OAuth2 authentication
Q: Sending emails using GMail SMTP with OAuth2 authentication. I am trying to set up an outgoing email notification that will happen when a file moves to it’s destination.
8th of May 2022, we are working on an update because of: OAuth out-of-band (oob) flow will be deprecated
Instead of the Google URI urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob you’ll have to use a loopback (IP) address as Redirect URI like http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost
In this update (version v2022.5.8.0) a redirect port will be added which is only needed during the OAuth2 verification setup.
Please check: Update Info

A: Yes this is possible.
First check if you enabled the GMail API in your account: https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158841?hl=en
Secondly we’ll need credentials ‘Client ID and Client Secret’ for the OAuth2 authentication: https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158857?hl=en&ref_topic=7013279
We added some screenshots to help you with the setup.
Don’t forget the Security Options:
OAuth2 Setup:
Please add the following information:
– Authorization Endpoint URL: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
– Token Endpoint URL: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token
– Client ID
– Client Secret
– Scope: https://mail.google.com/
– Redirect URI: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
Click GET and your browser will open. Follow steps and copy / paste the code from your browser in the ‘Auth Code’ field.
This will automatically fill in Refresh Token and Access Token. Do not forget to <Save> afterwards.
RunTime Log Result when testing:
#FileTransfer

Sharing destination file names between destinations
Q: Sharing destination file names between destinations. When a rule has two destinations, and the first destination renames the file, is there a way to get that destination file name as a replacement parameter in the next destination? Specifically, I have a rule that uses a chain of 70+ regex rules to rename the file to a Win destination (ID1), and I want to pass the destination file name to an HTTP WebForm in the next destination (ID2). I’d rather do the rename once and reference the results in later destinations, than have to build all those rename rules again.
A: We added a new option in version v2021.12.18.0 to achieve this.
Renaming, Added Renamed Var %RFN, %RFP, .. (v2021.12.18.0) [+]
%RFN = Renamed File Name
%RFW = Renamed file name Without extension
%RFD = Renamed File Dir
%RFP = Renamed File Path
It should be used with multiple Destinations.
We added some screenshots to get you started. In our example we added two WIN Destinations.
The file renaming of the First Destination in our example:
A simple renaming example where we add ‘Prefix-‘ to the filename:
So after the first Destination the %RFN var will containe the renaming result of the First Destination. This %RFN var can now be used as replacement paramater in the remaining Destinations.
As a test we added the following renaming setup in the Second Destination. We replace the original filename with the content of %RFN var. You can also use the %RFN var as replacement parameter in other options the remaining Destinations.
RunTime Log Result:
#FileTransfer
