Send an email notification

When something happens in Skills Workflow, let people know by email — optionally pulling in extra detail first. Click any step to see what it does:

Press enter or space to select a node. You can then use the arrow keys to move the node around. Press delete to remove it and escape to cancel.

Press enter or space to select an edge. You can then press delete to remove it or escape to cancel.

Click a step to see what it does.

How it works

1. Start hands off to the first action.
2. Rest (GetDetails) is optional — use it to fetch extra information to include in the message. Drop this step if the trigger already carries everything you need via {{['#HttpRequest']}}.
3. E-mail (SendEmail) sends the notification. The body supports HTML and can reference earlier results with {{['ActionName']}}.
4. Result returns once the email is sent.

Adapt it

Set toAddress, subject and body to your case. To attach a file — for example a generated CSV — see Export data to a CSV file and add the file to the E-mail action's attachments.
