Send: email
The system is also capable of sending out emails as part of executing a Flow. The email can be send to either the user that is engaging with the bot as well as the business or owner of the bot using a specified email address.
The system will send the email to the current user when an email address is known.
By default the node expects an email address to be configured in the field Email address. If not provided, it will use user.email
by default.
When the destination "email address from variable" is selected however, the email address will be fetched dynamically from the chosen variable. In the below example, it would be the variable new_email
:
Property | Description | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Subject | The subject of the message | Variables can be embedded using #{ … } |
Message | The message body | Variables can be embedded using #{ … } |
Destination | Target destionation | Define how the target email address is configured: either by providing an email address or selecting a variable which holds the email address |
Email address | The recipient of the email | When this field is left blank it will use the` user's email address |
Email variable | The variable in which the email address is to be found | The chosen variable should hold the email address to which to send the email to |
CC | Carbon copy email addresses | use the Add cc button to add email addresses that should be used to send a carbon copy of the email. |
Changing the email template
Standard emails that are send out by the platform are using labels that can be configured in the labels.yaml
file. For this you need the developer role.
