I was using the Send Email step within Gmail, now I no longer see it as an option. I haven’t tested it in a real zap, but when I try to test it I get Access Denied error. Was the Send Email functionality removed??

Hi
Make sure you are using the current version of the Gmail app integration.
This Gmail action must be in Zap step 2+.
For us to have more info about what you are referring to about the error, post screenshot to give us context.
Action: Gmail - Send Email

I see the option for Send Email.
Try scrolling instead of typing to see all options.
Try reconnecting your Gmail app account to Zapier here: https://zapier.com/app/connections
Make sure you grant proper permissions to be able to send emails.

Ok thanks the option does not exist for me anymore it randomly disappeared. Tried reconnecting my account and no luck.
Maybe some kind of permission changed in the Google account ill look into that

Glad it sorted itself out
Not sure why it was missing previously but if it happens again, it's definitely worth flagging to our Support team directly so they can dig into what caused it.
