I am trying to configure email for Watcher in Kibana 7.3.2. According to the article [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.x/actions-email.html#configuring-email), it suggests configuring gmail settings into Elasticsearch.yml as:
xpack.notification.email.account:
gmail\_account:
profile: gmail
smtp:
auth: true
starttls.enable: true
host: [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)
port: 587
user: [myemail@gmail.com](mailto:myemail@gmail.com)
However, when I save the Elasticsearch.yml file, I receive the following error:
Your changes cannot be applied
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.watcher.enabled': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.gmail\_account': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.profile': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.smtp': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.auth': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.starttls.enable': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.host': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.port': is not allowed\*
\*\* Elasticsearch - 'xpack.notification.email.account.user': is not allowed\*
I am using Kibana 7.3.2.

Can you elaborate a little more on where you see these errors?

Does the documentation here help with the process? [Enable Watcher | Elasticsearch Service Documentation | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-watcher.html)
