Send Email

What it is

The Send Email block is a tool for sending emails using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) credentials.

What it does

This block allows users to send an email to a specified recipient with a custom subject and body. It uses provided SMTP credentials to connect to an email server and send the message.

How it works

The block takes the recipient's email address, subject, and body of the email as inputs. It also requires SMTP credentials, including the server address, port, username, and password. The block then connects to the specified SMTP server, authenticates using the provided credentials, and sends the email. After attempting to send the email, it reports back whether the operation was successful or if an error occurred.

Inputs

Input Description
To Email The email address of the recipient
Subject The subject line of the email
Body The main content of the email message
SMTP Credentials Server, port, username, and password for authentication

SMTP Credentials Details

Credential Description Default
SMTP Server The address of the SMTP server smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port The port number for the SMTP server 25
SMTP Username The username for authenticating with the SMTP server -
SMTP Password The password for authenticating with the SMTP server -

Outputs

Output Description
Status A message indicating whether the email was sent successfully
Error If the email sending fails, this output provides details about the error that occurred

Possible use case

This block could be used in an automated customer support system. When a customer submits a support ticket through a website, the Send Email block could automatically send a confirmation email to the customer, acknowledging receipt of their request and providing them with a ticket number for future reference.
