Send mail with Gmail when there's no connection

Send mail with Gmail when there's no connection
Does this action place the email in the outbox of my phone (so it will be sent when a connection is restored), or does the action fail if there's no coverage/Wifi/connection?

The action fails when there's no working internet connection.

Is there a way to test if it's failed (so I can wait and try again)?Martin wrote:The action fails when there's no working internet connection.

You can attach another action to the Gmail-action then select the connection between the two actions, press the edit-button and switch the type of the connection to Exception. Such an Exception-connection is only executed when the previous action fails. You could attach an action Sleep with such a connection and then connect back to the Gmail-action to create a loop that tries to send the mail multiple times.

Ah-ha. Another great feature I'd not spotted. Will apply it.Martin wrote:You can attach another action to the Gmail-action then select the connection between the two actions, press the edit-button and switch the type of the connection to Exception.

As an aside, this won't work with sending SMS, will it? As far as I can tell the send of the SMS can fail without the flow failing, right? And I can't test if the txt is delivered either. So sending SMS is pretty much 'send and pray', right?

Yes, SMS is send and pray for the time being. I have a request on my todo-list to support SMS delivery confirmations.

Is SMS delivery confirmation likely in the next release after the current EAP?Martin wrote:Yes, SMS is send and pray for the time being. I have a request on my todo-list to support SMS delivery confirmations.

I have not made the plans for version 1.29 yet but I'll increase the priority of this feature request so it's more likely to be included.
