If something goes wrong

What you see Why What to do
Gmail takes at most 25 MB of attachments in one email — these come to 31 MB. The files are too large together. Attach fewer or smaller files.
Gmail refused: … The connection may need reconnecting, or lacks permission. Google turned the send away. Reconnect the connection.
Needs permission to send email as you The connection lacks the permission. Select Reconnect.
“…” is not an email address. / At most 10 people at a time — this had 12. An address is wrong, or too many. Correct them.
Attachment 1 is not a file when the step ran — … The value was not a file in that run. Check the earlier step gave a file.
