Additional information

  • The From field indicates who is sending emails (send as). You can send emails on behalf of yourself or someone. If you own another email address, you can send mail as that address.

  • To use a specific email address in the From field, you must verify that the email address is listed as an Send mail as account. To do so, click SettingsSee all settings, then check that the email address is listed the AccountsSend mail as section. If the you use an email address that is not listed, the Send Email action card will likely produce unexpected results or return an error.

  • You can choose HTML, which enables you to format the email message, or plain text.

  • If the recipient is always the same, type the email address directly into the To input field. If the recipient changes each time the flow runs, map an input from a previous action or function card.
