SMTP object in Pega Robotics 22.1

I need to send an email when the automation fails to notify the user. However, there is no MS outlook being installed in the robot’s PC. Is there an object in Pega Robotics 22.1 like SMTP object or something to help me with this use case?

@LizetteL The SMTP component still exists in 22.1. You can add it to the locals of an automation by searching the Toolbox in an automation for “SMTP”. If you want to make it global, you can right-click it and move it to the Globals. I am unable to add it directly to the Globals though. I will have to look at why that might be the case, but it seems to work fine from either location.

@ThomasSasnett @LizetteL This is an oversight in the configuration for the Globals Toolbox. As Thomas suggests, an interim solution is to add the component to an automation and then move to Globals. I will see that you will have Smtp available in Globals in our next release.

@ThomasSasnett is there a reference document on how to use the SMTP object?

@LizetteL Here is the documentation on it.
