Error when attempting to send a mail

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Dear all,
in my very first flow following an example for practicing purpose I attempt to send some mails.
However, when I test the flow it runs into the error "Unauthorized" as shown below:

My first idea was that the e-mail address from the current user is not connected correctly and when I press "Add new connection" in "My connections" I am only confronted with the dialog for acceptance of the SendGrid terms and pricacy policy. When I press "Accept" I get a new connection with the caption "Mail" which does not solve the connection problem.

Do you have any advice what I need to do differently?

Thanks a lot for any hint!
Best

    Hi @ltrader,

     

    I know the Mail connector has very high throttling limits (5 emails per 5 minutes) and as far as I am aware its usage was restricted for new tenants:

    Have you tried using the Send an Email (v2) action as an alternative?
