In an Automation email action, we would like to use deployment parameters to set the following parameters:

  • SMTP Server
  • SMTP Server Port
  • SMTP Account
  • SMTP Password
  • Connection security (less important)

Motivation: we have clients with an important number of automations that use the “Email (send)” external action. When the smtp server settings change, e.g. between DEV and PROD environments, it’s a significant amount of manual and error-prone work to change these settings consistently in all the automations. 

It would be a big help if these settings could be set using deployment parameters:

Great idea, David, this would be incredibly useful!

We work with many organizations that need to configure a system-wide SMTP connection that can be used not only by Automations but also when requesting results through Job Submitter or Data Download. Having these SMTP settings available as deployment parameters could greatly reduce configuration overhead and eliminate a lot of manual, error-prone updates when moving between environments like DEV and PROD.

Fully support this enhancement!
