    This issue can be resolved by using the SMTP 'Send Email (V3)' action. Simply create a Gmail connection using SMTP settings, and the flow will function as expected.

    Note: If two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled on your Gmail account, you must generate an App Password and use it in the connection; otherwise, the connection will not work.

    I have the same issue with my personal account.  Is there a way to pay to get around this?

    I think this is a problem which no one wants to solve. 
    You see, we are using Microsoft to access Gmail and they are competitors.
    There is never going to be an appetitie for either to get this working.
     
    I often say "free software is overpriced"

    Hi, were you able to find a solution to this?  I am running into the same issue and can't find any solutions online.
