Error : `Error: Greeting never received`

[Aristidios]

I've setup Firebase - Trigger Email Extension with SendGrid - everything worked smoothly but then came the time to try to Trigger my first email to be sent

• I manually created a new document from Firebase like so to trigger the email :

Like suggested by Trigger Email Firebase extension

But for some reason I get this Error : Error: Greeting never received

this is the SMPT I used (with my own password)

smtp://apikey:SG.IH8vUS.................QzZ1N0@smtp.sendgrid.net:465

I followed step by step this medium article : https://medium.com/firebase-developers/firebase-extension-trigger-email-5802800bb9ea

Hi @Aristidios.

Your smtp server is using an insecure protocol which uses port 587

I'd recommend updating the protocol to smtps and then you will be able to use port 465.

We have a full guide for emails here https://github.com/firebase/extensions/blob/next/firestore-send-email/README.md
