Send Email Action

Use the Send Email action to send an email when the action executes. When you create a Send Email action, you specify the sender and the recipient, the content of the email as custom text or as a template, and any additional information to attach to the email. If the recipient is also a NetSuite customer, you can include a link to the current record in the workflow.

You can also schedule a Send Email action. You can use the Scheduled trigger and then specify a delay for the email to be sent on the action definition. You can also schedule a Send Email action by scheduling a transition into a state that contains a Send Email action. 

The following table describes the additional features of the Send Email action that you can use to customize the email:
