Hello,

I am currently working on a project using Node-RED, where the goal is to send emails based on certain alarms. So far, everything is working fine. However, I would like to know if it is possible to populate the _password_, _server_, and _user ID_ fields dynamically from `msg.payload`.

From the documentation, this does not seem to be mentioned, so I assume it might not be possible. Could you help me confirm this or suggest a solution?

Thank you in advance for your assistance, and have a great day.

Best regards,  
Lagache Paul-Henri

Hello, the node I'm using is the `node-red-node-email` version 3.0.2, specifically the "e-mail" node.

It is not possible to dynamically set the configuration for that node. I don't know if there is another email node that will allow that.

Take a look at this node [node-red-node-email-variable (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-email-variable)
