Email Alias - Gmail Node

Hi @Malik_Mahjooba,
The Gmail node in n8n doesn’t fully support sending from aliases. Try these alternatives:

  1. Use Email Send node instead of Gmail node:
  • Create new credentials using SMTP
  • Server: smtp.gmail.com
  • User: your main Gmail address
  • Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
  • In the “From” field, use your alias address
  1. If you must use Gmail node:
  • Consider creating a separate Gmail node credential specifically for the alias
  • This may require setting up app passwords in your Google account
  1. Alternative workaround:
  • Create a new Google account using your alias address
  • Set up forwarding rules as needed
  • Connect this dedicated account to n8n

Gmail’s API has limitations on sending as aliases that affect n8n’s implementation.

If my answer helped solve your issue, please consider marking it as the solution! A like would make my day if you found it useful! :e-mail::sparkles:
