Email Event
Email Events in the Workflow Builder module allow users to automate the sending of emails based on workflow triggers. You can configure email events with static values or dynamic content, enabling flexible and automated communication.
Overview
Email Events enable you to set up automated emails that are triggered by specific conditions or schedules within a workflow. These events can include various email fields such as recipients, subject, content, and attachments.
Configuring Email Events
Static Values Configuration
To configure an Email Event with static values:
- Title: Enter a descriptive title for the email event.
- Description: Provide a brief description of the purpose of the email.
- To Email: Specify the primary recipient's email address.
- CC Email: Add additional recipients who should receive a copy of the email.
- BCC Email: Include recipients who should receive a blind copy of the email.
- Subject: Define the subject line of the email.
- Content: Write the body of the email.
- Attachments: Attach any files that need to be included with the email.
Example:

Dynamic Values Configuration
For more dynamic email events where values can change based on user input or workflow variables:
- Title: Use placeholders or variables to dynamically set the title of the email.
- Subject: Include variables or placeholders for dynamic subject lines.
- Content: Incorporate dynamic content using variables or placeholders.
Example:
- Title: Monthly Report for
@month

In this setup, @month
will be replaced with the current month when the email is sent.

Sending Emails Triggered by Workflow
When a workflow with an Email Event is triggered:

Example:
- To: admin@example.com
- CC: manager@example.com

This ensures that the email is dispatched with all the specified details when the workflow conditions are met.
