How to email someone
I am trying to learn how to email somebody using nodeJS. I have seen some answers online elsewhere, but they don't work. Can someone please tell me how to make a repl that can email someone and actually works?
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: '[email protected]',
pass: 'yourpassword'
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: '[email protected]',
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'Sending Email using Node.js',
text: 'That was easy!'
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
}
});
I found this on https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_email.asp and it works just fine for me.
@Geocube101 It doesn't work, for some reason, google says that you can only sign-in using a google app :(
@Coder100 Can I see the repl or Error Message

@Coder100 I've has this error before. I believe it is because of gmail security settings. I used an outlook account for logging in and sending emails. Try using an outlook account.
@Geocube101 ok, how should I do that?
@Coder100 set service to 'outlook'. The user is your outlook account email and pass is the password for that email. from is also equal to the outlook email.
@Geocube101 ok, thanks
@Coder100 Hey, wouldn't recommend putting your username and password in a public thing
