Error occurring when connecting Gmail with Slack

I want to connect gmail with slack to send new message notification to slack.

But when turning on the zap, an error is coming up as picture below.

 

Gmail has some additional requirements

Your Gmail data can only be sent to approved apps.

Unfortunately, the app you are using is no longer supported.

You'll need to edit your Zap to turn it back on.

 

 

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hey! This is a common error - If you’re connecting with a gmail account (ending in gmail.com/googlemail.com), there are a number of restrictions in place which prevent you sending/receiving data. Are you in a position to sign up for a Google for Business account? 

 

Here’s the list of apps you can connect to with a Gmail.com account (Slack, sadly isn’t one of them yet)
