After Updating to 8.0.27.1: Gmail emails stopped working

[jeffco]

I've been using my Gmail account to send email/alerts for month/years without problems. But after Updating it doesn't work anymore. When trying to send a test email, NT opens a window asking me to log into my Google account and allow NT8 to access my account information including emails. When I do that I am getting an error message (please see attached screenshot). It happens on all my NT8 installations/machines.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Hello jeffco,

Thank you for your post!

Yes, with 8.0.27.1 there were some changes to the Gmail Share Service. This is what I would suggest:

• Go to Tools > Share Services > Add Share Service > In your "Configured" section, select your email share service and remove (we're going to re-create)
• Then, add a new Email share service > pre-configured settings to Gmail > Sign in with Google > type in your email > Next > Enter your password > Next > Check "Send email on your behalf" (all boxes should be checked) > Continue > Press Apply in NinjaTrader
• Send e-mail test > type in your Gmail address again > OK

Following the above, I was able to get the test email send to my Gmail.

I hope this helps, please let me know if further assistance is needed!
