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!) ---

Hey, Sean! I see! ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex008/uploads/mindstudio/original/1X/7e9705a03acc4caf8e5c951262e755b2e573b458.png) 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](http://sendgrid.com/) 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!
