Enable two-factor authentication and create an app password. https://github.com/dawidd6/action-send-mail?tab=readme-ov-file#gmail Here is an example of app password configuration. Local Testing Use act to run GitHub Actions in a local environment. https://github.com/nektos/act Create a file like the following in a repository. n o j a n o m : b s e s e : [ : n r s p d u t N u - n e o s m s p t h a - s i ] i o : f l n i : : c n i u w a u a f s i t b m : e t i u e s h o n : s : : s s u p s t f b n t u e e s a u o r o u S c d r r e s b : o d W - e c a v v r s j m y o l n e w e e n w e $ : : H T C C B B $ r a d s i r r a o c { e h o o r e { k t s d _ _ m r t { $ | l e m m a s { f e m ( d a p e d : s { l m m n t l s a ) 6 d o : : e { o d i i c s o t i / d r D c , e t t h r e w l # a r t $ $ e r s p : : e c c e : { { p e e l l g r T t s { { l t c o $ i $ a e h i s 4 s s o s r y { n { r t i o : 6 e e y . e m { k { d s s n 5 c c m M t e : s . - s r r e A s n g g , M l s m e e n I . t i h i A i e t t t t L M t t t I n n p s s _ A p h t h L e d . . .

Registering Secrets After finishing local testing, push the changes to GitHub. At that time, I registered secrets using the GitHub CLI gh command as follows. g g g g h h h h s s s s e e e e c c c c r r r r e e e e t t t t s s s s e e e e t t t t M M M M A A A A I I I I L L L L _ _ _ _ U P T F S A O R E S O R S M N W - A O b M R o - E D d b y o d - - " y b b a o o b " d d c S y y @ e e n " " x d x a a e x a m r x a p @ a l N g e a m b . m a b o e i b r " l b g . , c c d o c e m c f " c @ e d x d a d m d p " l e . o r g " Summary While sending notifications to Slack may be more common, I hope this serves as a useful reference.
