Send Email

Use Send Email to send an email that's automatically filed against the corresponding entity and displayed on the Communications tab as part of the workflow process.

You can use this action on person, company, case, opportunity, solution, and custom entity (with communications) records. You must specify a notification email address in Workflow and escalation settings.

For any email feature to work, your IT department must set up an email server and configure Sage CRM to connect to it.

The table below describes Send Email fields on the Workflow Action Details screen.
