Sends an email as a step in your route. Use this to notify someone when data passes through, for example emailing a confirmation when an order is processed, alerting a team when a record needs attention, or forwarding a summary to a mailbox. You set who the message is from and to, the subject, and the body, and you can build any of these from the data using placeholders. The message is sent through an email connection you choose, which holds the mail server details. The data flowing through the route is not changed; this step only sends the email.

Sample data

This step sends an email rather than changing the data, so there is no before and after; the data passing through is left untouched. The example below sends an order confirmation, building the recipient, subject, and body from the order data with placeholders. See Placeholders for how to reference values such as &{customer.email} when building the message.
