How To Send Emails Using Flogo Apps in TIBCO Cloud Integration

Sending emails is still a core part of many integration flows — error notifications, confirmations, alerts. This tutorial walks through setting up the Send Mail activity in TIBCO Cloud Integration’s Web Integrator, using Gmail as the provider.

Note: you might need to create an ‘App Specific Password’ if your account uses two-factor authentication

This one is mostly visual — screenshots do the heavy lifting.

Probably the most common version control system used by developers today is git. Whether that is a self hosted server (like Gogs), a bare repo (git init) or with GitHub, most developers intuitively choose git. I try to store all my projects in local git repos and some of them make it to GitHub, while many of them don’t. When it comes to deploying apps to TIBCO Cloud Integration, I do many updates per day so I wanted an easy way to not only store my latest source but deploy it right after.

Creating deployment artifacts every time you check something in to GitHub gets old fast. Jenkins can handle that for you. This post walks through using Jenkins with the tibcli utility to deploy Node.js apps to TIBCO Cloud Integration every time updates are pushed to GitHub.

VSCode Extension For TIBCO Cloud Integration
