Email action

Sends an email to one or more recipients. In the action picker it is Email, under Notification Actions. It needs no connection—delivery is configured by an administrator.

Fields

Field	Required	Description
To	Yes	The recipient email addresses. Accepts variables, so a recipient can come from the trigger's data—an author's address, for instance.
Subject	No	The subject line. Accepts variables.
Body	No	The message body—Rich Text for basic formatting written here, or HTML for markup you supply. Both accept variables.
Test Recipients Override	No	On the Advanced tab. During a dry run, this step sends here instead of the automation-level email test target. Leave it unset to use that target.

Who actually receives it

Recipients who have opted out are skipped, and the run's log says so per address. Every message carries an unsubscribe link, which is what an opt-out comes from. An opt-out is recorded against this step in this automation and that address alone, so unsubscribing from one notification never silently cuts the same person out of an unrelated automation that legitimately needs to reach them.

Output

Field	Description
sent	Addresses the message was sent to.
failed	Addresses that failed, each with a reason.
skipped	Addresses that were skipped—opted out, for example—each with a reason.
