Show us what the debug node shows.

What version of the email node are you using? Check in the hamburger menu > Manage pallete. In fact if you are not using the latest then try upgrading that first.

Hilight the email note, then click the info tab and read the first sentence.

What does it say?

this is what the debug shows..

if you look in the flow i posted you will see that i have given a value to msg.topic and fed it into the email node...

Sorry, I missed that - I'm running the 1.7.8 version and it works fine

I updated the email node and it works
thanks
