Hi Team,

Internal : Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Authentication Required. Learn more at

Hi Hari, 
First run configure SMTP then run send email. Make sure you give correct parameters for the configure SMTP.

Hi @Haribp,

​I hope those screenshots don't contain actual username/password info for an account you care about. 😬 If they do, you want to remove them and resubmit with the sensitive information redacted.

Hi @Haribp

Did you configure this Gmail account to accept connections for external sites? 

You must to enable this option in the account. Here you have a link of how to do this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7104828?hl=en

I have also found interesting this Stack Overflow article for this error, check it if the solution of enabling the POP3 and SMTP settings didn't works: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20906077/gmail-error-the-smtp-server-requires-a-secure-connection-or-the-client-was-not


Hope this helps you!

See you in the Community, bye 🙂

Hi @PabloSarabia

Thanks for the information. It was really helpful.

Setting up POP server in Gmail was successful. 

Later I had received the same error message. The issue was due to email client server. 

Email sending,

To send emails using the Gmail server enter these details:

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 587
Encryption: TLS
SMTP Username: (your Gmail username)
SMTP Password: (you need to use a Google App Password, not your Gmail password!)

Then I was able to execute it successfully. 

Hope this may help for the beginner.

Thanks,

Nithya
