Send email Action. Options properties.

Options propertiesDescription
Message formatChoose message format from the following options: Plain text, HTML, HTML with Embeded Resources and .EML file. Actual selection determines the treatment of message text provided in Email tab as well as enables / disables multiple parameters.
  • Plain text - message text is sent exactly as written / provided in Email text field. Disabled fields: Alternate text.
  • HTML - message text inside HTML tags is converted into hypertext before sending.
  • HTML with Embedded Resources - message text is converted into hypertext with embedding all pictures, style sheets and other necessary files (img, .js, .css). All image, style sheet and other tags have to refer to files stored locally or on network drive in order for these elements to be embedded into the email.
  • EML - message text is treated as EML file. All email parameters except From and To fields are taken from EML file and respective Send email Action input fields are disabled. Although it is necessary to provide From and To parameters, end recipient will see email sender and recipient as specified in EML file (even if actual sender and recipient differ).
Character setSelect among most popular message encoding character sets or enter necessary one, if not available on the list.
PrioritySet email priority flag (Not set, Low, Normal or High).
Request delivery confirmationAdds a flag to email message header that requests recipient's mail server to send a confirmation of email delivery.
