Use the Send email action to send emails with optional attachments to multiple addresses. For instance, you can use the Send email action to collect user data, to send results to a user or to trigger a warning email.
Example use cases
Collect Data
Keep track of users' responses by sending the data to an email address. After collecting a list of user responses through your module, you can reference the data in the Content parameter of the Send email action and send an email to yourself. Or you can also collect user responses in a document, then attach this document to an email and send it to yourself using the Send email action.
Send the result to the user
Increase user confidence in your module by emailing them a record of their interaction and relevant additional information. We suggest that you include a detailed explanation concerning the result of the module.
Trigger a warning
Set up your module to automatically send an email to a dedicated person based on the information your users enter. For instance, you can trigger the email if a user indicates that they're interested in an investment approval but you've determined that the investment objective might be risky.
