Send Email
Solution No. 166
This action sends an email to the specified recipient. Notes: (1) the “Body” commonly uses an HtmlEditor object, (2) Priority accepts the values “High”, “Normal” and “Low”, (3) Server Address, User Name and Password are the SMTP settings of your company's e-mail server. If you have already entered in your SMTP settings, leave these fields blank.
So Where Would We Use It?
Useful to send emails directly from method and avoid the need to move away to another app which can be another distraction you don't need.
