Integrating GMAIL using SAP CPI Mail Adapter in iFlow

Hi All,

📌 Introduction

In SAP CPI (Cloud Integration), the Mail Adapter for Gmail plays a crucial role in automating email notifications and integrating email functionality into business processes. It allows seamless communication via SMTP, ensuring secure transmission of emails within integration flows.

Below is the image of the Integration Flow I created:

📌 Step 1: Content Modifier for Email Body

I have used a Content Modifier named Mail_body to define the email content dynamically using HTML code for styling. This ensures structured email formatting and supports customization.

📌 Step 2: Configuring the Mail Adapter

The Mail Adapter is configured using an SMTP connection to communicate with the Gmail server.

An Authentication Credential is created under Security Material with the help of GCP (Google Cloud Platform) credentials to ensure secure email transmission and prevent unauthorized access.

Under the Processing tab, I have defined the mail attributes, including:

Recipient details (To, CC, BCC)

Subject line

Body Mime-Type set as “Text/HTML” for styling the email body using HTML.

📌 Step 3: Sample Email Output

Once deployed, here’s a sample email that users will receive: (Attach an example email screenshot here.)

📌 Step 4: Using Exchange Properties for Dynamic Content

To store dynamic email content (mail attributes), we use exchange properties in the Content Modifier. This allows dynamic values like recipient email, transaction details, and timestamps to be populated during runtime.

Conclusion

In this blog, we explored how to: ✅ Set up the Mail Adapter in an iFlow. ✅ Configure SMTP authentication for secure email transmission. ✅ Format HTML-based email bodies for structured messages. ✅ Optimize integration with exchange properties for dynamic content.

By applying these best practices, enterprises can enhance email reliability, security, and customization in their CPI workflows. With continuous enhancements in SAP Integration Suite, email-based automation will remain a powerful tool for business process efficiency.
