How to set User-Specific SMTP Defaults for Google Workspace in Business Central?

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hi Everyone,

I am configuring Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Online/SaaS) with Google Workspace SMTP for multiple users, and I’m facing an issue with sender email selection.

My Requirement:

Each user must send emails (specifically Sales Quotes) using their own unique Gmail address.

User 1 should send from user1@domain.com

User 2 should send from user2@domain.com

User 3 should send from user3@domain.com

The Problem:

I have added 3 separate SMTP accounts in the Email Accounts page using Google App Passwords. However, I can only set one account as the "Global Default." If I set User 1 as default, then when User 2 sends an email, it still uses User 1's email address.

What I've tried:

I have looked for the "User-Specific Settings" or "Set as Default for Current User" options mentioned in some documentation, but I cannot see these buttons/actions on my Email Accounts page or the Email Account Card.

I tested the current user configuration as well. While the system correctly identifies the logged-in user and displays the correct sender name, the email is still sent from the registered application’s email address rather than the current user’s email.

Questions:

1. Where is the User-Specific Email Account mapping available in the latest Business Central version (if it still exists)?

2. If that option is deprecated, how can I map a specific BC User ID to a specific SMTP Account so they don't share the same global default?

3. Since Email Scenarios are global, how can multiple users send the same document (e.g., Sales Quote) using different email accounts?

Environment:

Business Central Online (SaaS)

Connector: SMTP (Google Workspace)

Authentication: Basic (App Passwords)

 

Any guidance, best practices, or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

    As far as I know, only Microsoft accounts support current user accounts; others are not supported.
     
    If you have set up multiple email addresses, Email Scenarios can automatically configure which email address to send which type of document.
    However, this cannot differentiate based on the user.

    Hello,
    With Business Central Online + SMTP, you can’t natively map one email scenario like Sales Quote to different SMTP accounts per user; standard BC only supports a global default email account or one global account per email scenario, and with SMTP the Current User sender type only changes the displayed sender based on the user while the email is still sent through the configured SMTP account, so for your requirement the practical standard options are to use the Current User Connector instead of SMTP, use one SMTP account with alias/delegation behavior, or build a custom AL extension to choose the account dynamically per user.
