Cannot send emails invitations for team from Twenty CRM using Gmail SMTP

[zayihu]

Bug Description

I deployed Twenty and everything seems to work. But I cannot send emails invitations for team from Twenty CRM using Gmail SMTP, while when I use PHPMailer with same username, password, host and port, I can send emails and receive them. Also I tried sending emails from demo.twenty.com, which also seems to not send any emails invitations. I tried variaty of different emails, Gmail, Outlook, TempMail.

Example:
I go to Members -> Invite by email -> Type or paste email -> click send -> get notification successfully send -> check email for 5 mins, spam folder and inbox, nothing is send, no email at all.

Expected behavior

I want to get emails invite SMTP emails from Twenty to emails in input.

Example:
I go to Members -> Invite by email -> Type or paste email -> click send -> get notification successfully send -> check email inbox and spam folder and see email from Twenty.

Technical inputs

That's wrong with my issue? Can anyone explain? It is ignored, compared to other recent issues.

@zayihu nothing is wrong with your issue, sometimes issues get lost in the backlog because we receive so many

We use the nodemailer library under the hood so you should probably look there.
Here's something about gmail in their docs: https://nodemailer.com/usage/using-gmail/
