## Description

Send an email through Salesforce. Use **List Email Templates** to find a template ID first when sending templated mail. Sent mail is logged against the related record - use **List Email Messages** to read it back. [See the documentation](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_action.meta/api_action/actions_obj_email_simple.htm)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `emailAddress` | `string` | Yes | The email address to send the email to |
| `emailSubject` | `string` | Yes | The subject of the email |
| `emailBody` | `string` | Yes | The body of the email |
| `sendRichBody` | `boolean` | No | Whether to send Body of the email as rich text (HTML) rather than plain text. Defaults to false. |
| `logEmailOnSend` | `boolean` | No | Indicates whether to log the email on the specified records' activity time lines |
| `relatedRecordId` | `string` | No | The ID of a record that is not a person (for example, a case record). If logEmailOnSend is included, this is the ID of a secondary record (except a lead) to log the email to. |
| `addThreadingTokenToBody` | `boolean` | No | Whether to create a unique token for the related record and add it to the email body. When the related record is a case record, Email-to-Case uses the token to link future email responses to that case. |
| `addThreadingTokenToSubject` | `boolean` | No | The same as Add Threading Token to Body, but for the email subject. |
| `senderType` | `string` | Yes | Email address used as the email's From and Reply-To addresses. In scheduled flows, the only valid value is OrgWideEmailAddress. |
| `senderAddress` | `string` | No | If Sender Type is OrgWideEmailAddress, this is the organization-wide email address to be used as the sender. |

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({

  arguments: {
    emailAddress: "Email Address",
