The Email Destination allows you send an email to yourself — the email address tied to the account you signed up with — at any step of a workflow. You can use this to email yourself when you receive a specific event, for example when a user signs up on your app. You can send yourself an email when a cron job finishes running, or when a job fails. Anywhere you need an email notification, you can use the Email Destination!

Adding an Email Destination

​
Adding an Email Action

  1. Add a new step to your workflow
  2. Select the Send Yourself an Email Action. You can modify the Subject and the message (either Plain Text or HTML) however you want.

​
Using $.send.email in workflows

You can send data to an Email Destination in Node.js code steps, too, using the $.send.email() function. This allows you to send emails to yourself programmatically, if you need more control than actions provide. $.send.email() takes the same parameters as the corresponding action: 
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    $.send.email({
      subject: "Your subject",
      text: "Plain text email body",
      html: "HTML email body"
    });
  }
});
The html property is optional. If you include both the text and html properties, email clients that support HTML will prefer that over the plaintext version. Like with any $.send function, you can use $.send.email() conditionally, within a loop, or anywhere you’d use a function normally in Node.js.

​
Using $.send.email in component actions

If you’re authoring a component action, you can deliver data to an email destination using $.send.email. $.send.email functions the same as $.send.email in workflow code steps: 
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    $.send.email({
      subject: "Your subject",
      text: "Plain text email body",
      html: "HTML email body"
    });
  }
})
