Can't send email from outbound dialplan route

[pbz]

I'm trying to send an email from an outbound dialplan and I have the Advanced->Default Settings->Email setup and verified working.

I'm using the example here (see the screen shot): https://www.pbxforums.com/threads/change-outbound-caller-number.2731/post-7769

In an outbound dialplan I have the tag set to action, the type set to lua and the data set to email.lua to@email.com from@email.com ' ' 'Test Email' 'Test Body'

The position of the dialplan entry is right before the bridge to the gateways.

My actual emails were replaced with to@email.com and from@email.com

When I make an outbound call, the email is never sent, but in the logs I see this error:

e1be75b7-5ba0-4e60-adfc-913605613025 EXECUTE [depth=0] sofia/internal/100@1.1.1.1 lua(email.lua to@email.com from@email.com Test Email Test Body)
e1be75b7-5ba0-4e60-adfc-913605613025 2022-02-22 16:28:28.284341 97.87% [ERR] mod_lua.cpp:202 ...are/freeswitch/scripts/resources/functions/send_mail.lua:240: bad argument #1 to pairs (table expected, got string)

My actual ip address was replaced with 1.1.1.1

I checked send_mail.lua on line 240 and the code is:

for k,v in pairs(headers) do
    xheaders = xheaders .. ('"%s":"%s",'):format(k, v)
end

I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help is appreciated!

Just looking at the example at the bottom of the send_mail.lua file, it looks like the first argument needs to be headers not to@email.com...

--local headers = {
--    ["X-FusionPBX-Domain-UUID"] = '2d171c4c-b237-49ca-9d76-9cffc1618fa7';
--    ["X-FusionPBX-Domain-Name"] = 'domain.com';
--    ["X-FusionPBX-Email-Type"]    = 'voicemail';
--}
--send_mail(headers, 'alexey@domain.com', {'hello', 'world'})

I was intending to send "blank" headers which I believe is the blank quote ' ' before the to@email.com

Hmm...
Just tried your setup and it worked OK, screenshot below:

Which version are you using? I'm using 4.5.32 on Debian 11.

Sorry, should have said - I'm rushing a little this evening.

4.5.11 on Debian 10.

I narrowed down the problem and have a workaround.

The issue is the empty string passed in for the header parameter.

None of my attempts to pass in a different value for the parameter worked so I resorted to editing the email.lua file directly.

nano /usr/share/freeswitch/scripts/email.lua

And change

headers = argv[3];

to

headers = {};

Control X, Y, press return to save the change.

This makes the header variable an empty table which will work if you don't need to pass in custom headers.

That works, thank you.

How can I send a email with new lines?

I tried with \n but I get a error about a unfinished string.
