Email Flow Step

Use the Email flow step to send an email to one or more email addresses.

This flow step is useful if you want to send notifications when a previous flow step fails.

Step Inputs

In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.

Step Detail

• 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.

Step Output

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.

Example Use Case

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.
