Only thing to do is a repair of your Office installation.

If you are using the “New” Outlook, switch back to the “Old” Outlook to allow for email actions to function properly.

If you're using the stand-alone Outlook application, in the upper right corner may be a switch for New or Old (Classic) Outlook. New Outlook doesn't support sending mail through the Outlook connector, but Classic Outlook does.

Hello Semih, you have office 365 on ur machine which you can uninstall and reinstall. this would do the trick. If u are using new version of office then switch to older version. Make sure u update the email packages as well.

@Gunasekaran.K If you’re using the Email package, two things must happen:

  1. You must be running the OLD Outlook. The email package does NOT work with the new version of the Outlook client because Microsoft removed the conduit from Outlook that made this possible.
  2. Old Outlook must be running on the same computer the automations are run upon.

The recommended fix is to use the Microsoft 365 Outlook package instead.

Hope that helps.

Hi Aaron,

Yes, I am using outlook (classic) with A360 latest Email package. Still, I am getting the same error after Office repair and re-installation of A360 Bot Agent. My colleague’s credentials are working in my machine, and my credentials are working in my colleague’s machine with the same setup.

Also, for MS 365 package usage, we may get challenges to get the client ID & Tenant ID.

When I try the Python script instead Send email command, also have same issue as not triggering the email.
