In some cases you may want to setup a "global error handling" system, so that every time a job fails, you will be notified about this incident through email. A very common example where this feature could prove useful, is if WinAutomation is installed in a server where you do not have access on a daily basis. If for some reason, any of your jobs fails to complete successfully, WinAutomation will automatically send an email to the address that you specify, with the name of the job that failed, the time when the error occurred and a short description of the error.

WinAutomation provides you with an action that allows you to send emails ("Send Email" action under "Email" category). However, as soon as you have filled in the sender, the recipient, the subject and the body, you have to enter an SMTP server that will be used to send the email. The good news are that if you have a Gmail account, you can use the details of Gmail's SMTP server.
