This flow step is useful if you want to send notifications when a previous flow step fails, or just before ending a flow with a status of "failed". It is the primary way to notify someone without requiring them to log in and view a dashboard.
You can also create a flow with just the Email step, then use the Call A Flow step to call the Email step. This is useful when you frequently send flow result emails to the same addresses in the Email step, and you may want to combine this process with a custom input schema.
In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.
Emails: Enter the email addresses to which the email will be sent. You can enter multiple email addresses separated by a comma. You can also select Expressions and enter code that outputs an array of email addresses.
Attachment: Enter an expression that works with the Create Delimited File step to send an email, usually containing formatted data.
Subject: Enter the subject of the email. This can be an expression or string.
Body: Enter the content of the email. This can be an expression or string. The email body will adhere to a string in properly formatted HTML.
The output of the Email step is the sent email. You may see one of the following statuses after running the Email step.
Successful: Occurs when the email is sent successfully.
Failed: Occurs when the email fails to send.
Use the Email step to receive notification of a step’s completion. This works well with the Conditional step.
You can also create a flow with just the Email step, then use the Call A Flow step to call the Email step. This is useful when you frequently send flow result emails to the same addresses in the Email step.
If you create a flow with the Map to format data found in the workflow processing and generate a file (typically a .csv file) from the data in the Create Delimited File step, you can email that file in the Email step.
