Send Email Node

2 min read Updated July 23, 2026

The Send Email node composes and sends an email through your site’s mailer. It works as a proper compose window, with To, Cc, Bcc, and Subject fields, a rich or plain body, attachments, and an optional delay.

What it does

  • Sends an email as HTML or plain text.
  • Supports Cc, Bcc, and attachments.
  • Can wait a set time before sending.
  • Accepts variable tags in every field, so you can build the message from earlier nodes.

Configuration reference

Field Required What it does
To Yes Recipient address. Supports variable tags.
Cc No Carbon copy recipients. Supports variable tags.
Bcc No Blind carbon copy recipients. Supports variable tags.
Subject Yes Email subject. Supports variable tags.
Body Yes Email content. Supports variable tags.
Send as HTML No Send the body as HTML rather than plain text.
Attachments No Files to attach, for example a generated PDF or created file.
Delay No Wait a set amount before sending, in minutes, hours, or days.

Filling the fields

Feed the body from an AI node’s text, for example [Input from aiModel-1]. Keep To and Subject as short values, usually from the trigger or a dedicated node. Reference upstream text with [Input from node-id] rather than inventing field tags on plain AI nodes. See Data flow and variables.

Local or Cloud, and cost

Send Email runs in both Local and Cloud modes and costs 1 credit per run. It is usually a workflow endpoint.

Worked example: notify your team

  1. Set To to team@example.com and Subject to New submission.
  2. Set the body to [Input from aiModel-1] and turn on Send as HTML.
  3. Optionally attach a PDF from a Generate PDF node.
