Send email

Step · Stable

Send an email through the best connected account (Gmail / Microsoft 365 / Resend).

Delivers email through the workspace’s mail carrier: a connected Gmail or Microsoft 365 account, or the Resend transactional sender. The carrier resolves automatically (step-level via override → workspace default → the single connected account, else Resend). to, subject, and body accept Jinja2 templates rendered against the run context. Delivery failure logs a warning but does not halt the run; a disconnected carrier fails the step with a reconnect error instead of silently switching sender.

When to use

Section titled “When to use”

Use whenever a workflow step needs to deliver a message to an email address — a weekly digest, an invoice notification, an approval confirmation. The to, subject, and body all accept {{ template }} references so you can slot in any upstream output directly.

When not to use

Section titled “When not to use”

For an in-app alert visible in the bell panel, use Send notification. For a WhatsApp message, use Send WhatsApp. If you need to receive an email (not send one), use the Incoming email trigger.

Inputs

Section titled “Inputs”

to

Section titled “to”

string · required

The recipient email. A literal address, or a {{ reference }} to one produced upstream (e.g. a contact lookup or the invoking user). Use {{ user.email }} to email the person who ran the flow.

Example: jakub@example.com

  • ✓ ops@firma.cz — literal address
  • ✓ {{ user.email }} — the invoking user
  • ✓ {{ find_contact.email }} — from an upstream contact lookup
  • ✗ Jakub — a name is not an address — use the email or a {{ ref }}

subject

Section titled “subject”

string · optional

Plain text or a template — {{ weather.headline }} reuses a prepared summary.

Example: Týdenní souhrn

  • ✓ Týdenní souhrn — literal subject
  • ✓ Počasí v {{ geo.location }} — templated subject

body

Section titled “body”

string · required

The email body. Mix literal text and {{ refs }}; a module that pre-formats text (e.g. weather.report) can be dropped in whole. Required — an email with no text/html is rejected by the provider.

Example: Dobrý den, {{ report.text }} S pozdravem

  • ✓ {{ weather.report }} — a ready-made body from weather
  • ✓ Ahoj {{ user.firstName }}, hotovo! — literal + ref

via

Section titled “via”

choice · optional · one of automatic, resend, gmail, o365

The mail carrier. Automatic follows the workspace default; an explicit choice pins this one step to that service. Gmail / Microsoft 365 send as the connected account itself, so the recipient sees a real mailbox, not a platform sender.

  • ✓ automatic — default — let the workspace decide
  • ✓ gmail — user explicitly asked “send it from my Gmail”
  • ✗ gmail — do not pin a carrier the user never mentioned — leave automatic
