How can I send an email to a recipient when the workflow is triggered by an email webhook? I see that the “Send Email” block does not have a field to specify to whom to send the email like the Send Gmail block did. When I test the Send Email block, it sends to the configured account. I don’t want to use the “Dynamic at Runtime” setting since this is an automated response.
Thank you for your help in advance!
I see. Right now emails can only be sent to approved addresses (to prevent people building AI spambots), but I think it would make sense to allow emails to be sent within the context of a workflow set up as you describe. I will look into it some time this weekend and get back to you here!
Thank you so much!
And I hope you, and everyone else at MindStudio, have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! (Please don’t work much!)
This should be available now!
Hey, Sean! I see!
I see that one can multi-select the Trigger Email and a specific account. Very nice!
This addresses part of my use case. Is there a way to send the email using a variable, similarly to the old Send Gmail block? My use case is that I want to use a Run Workflow block from a parent workflow, then send an email from a JSON array based on a variable value. Would that be possible?
Unfortunately that’s a little tough with the current implementation. This specifically allows you to send an email back to the email that triggered the workflow, even if the email is not pre-verified by MindStudio.
Two thoughts:
1 - We can disable the email verification requirement entirely for certain organizations. It’s an enterprise feature and historically we have restricted it to, e.g., recipients at a certain domain, but we could discuss that if needed.
2 - Use a custom function and the SendGrid API. This would open up ultimate flexibility as you would be the one sending the emails and controlling the mail servers.
Thank you very much for your this, Sean. I totally understand the need to verify the email address. Thank you for making this change to reply to the email webhook address. I very much appreciate it!
