@MalikFaizanZafar which sample is that for? (there are like 50 apps/samples in this repo).

Have you followed all the steps in the README? including setting configuration attributes?

@nicolasgarnier I followed the sample in functions-samples/quickstarts/email-users/functions/

firebase functions:config:set gmail.email="[email protected]" gmail.password="secretpassword""
