Send Email

The Send Email node sends an email as part of your workflow. Use it for notifications, alerts, confirmations, reports, or any automated email communication.

There are two email nodes:

Node	Type	Credits	Description
Send Email	General	–	Send to any recipient with full configuration
Send Email to Yourself	`SELF_EMAIL`	–	Always sends to your account email, for debugging and personal alerts

Send Email: Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
To	FX formula	Yes	Recipient email. Supports variables: `{{trigger.body.email}}`
Subject	FX formula	Yes	Email subject line. Supports variables.
Body	FX formula	No	Email content: plain text or HTML
CC	FX formula	No	Carbon copy recipients (comma-separated)
BCC	FX formula	No	Blind carbon copy recipients
Reply-to	FX formula	No	Reply-to address (defaults to your account email)

Send Email to Yourself: Configuration

Simpler version that always sends to the logged-in user's email:

Field	Type	Required	Description
Priority	Select	No	`LOW`, `NORMAL` (default), `HIGH`, `URGENT`
Subject	FX formula	Yes	Email subject line
Body	FX formula	No	Email body text

Templates:

Error Alert: HIGH priority, pre-filled with error subject
Completion Notice: NORMAL priority
Daily Summary: LOW priority

Using variables in emails

Reference data from any previous node:

Subject: New lead: {{trigger.body.name}} from {{trigger.body.company}}

Body:
Hi team,

New form submission received:

Name: {{trigger.body.name}}
Email: {{trigger.body.email}}
Company: {{trigger.body.company}}
Message: {{trigger.body.message}}

Lead score: {{analyzer.result.score}}/100
Classification: {{analyzer.result.category}}

HTML email support

The body field supports HTML. Write HTML directly for formatted emails:

<h2>New Order Received</h2>
<p>Order #{{trigger.body.order_id}} from {{trigger.body.customer_name}}</p>
<table>
  <tr><td>Product</td><td>{{trigger.body.product}}</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Amount</td><td>${{trigger.body.amount}}</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Status</td><td>Confirmed</td></tr>
</table>
<a href="https://app.tinycommand.com/orders/{{trigger.body.order_id}}">View Order</a>

Tip

For rich, designed emails with drag-and-drop editing, use TinyEmails to build the template first, then export the HTML and paste it into the Send Email body. The Send Email node is best for simple transactional messages; TinyEmails is for designed marketing emails.

Common patterns

Form submission alert

Form Submission → Send Email (notify team) + Send Email (confirmation to submitter)

Error notification

HTTP Request → If-Else (status != 200) → Send Email to Yourself (HIGH priority error alert)

Daily digest

Schedule (daily 9am) → Find All (get today's records) → Transformer (build summary) → Send Email (digest to team)

Conditional recipient

Trigger → If-Else (check priority) →
  HIGH: Send Email (to on-call@team.com)
  LOW: Send Email (to support-queue@team.com)

Debugging with Send Email to Yourself

The "Send Email to Yourself" node is a quick debugging tool:

Add it after any node in your workflow
Set the subject to describe what you're checking
Set the body to {{previous_node.output}}
Run the workflow; you get an email with the exact data at that point

This is faster than checking execution history for quick debugging during development.

Warning

Send Email sends real emails, even during test runs. Use "Send Email to Yourself" during development to avoid accidentally emailing customers.

Note

Email delivery depends on your workspace's email sending configuration. Emails are sent from the workspace's configured sender address. Check your spam folder if test emails don't arrive.
