The Email Flow Item within No Code Flows offers an automated solution for sending emails, seamlessly integrating email communication into various processes without manual intervention. Its purpose is to facilitate customized notifications based on specific conditions within workflows. For instance, in the scenario of an employee leaving a particular organizational zone, the regional administrator should receive a notification, whereas in other cases, the global administrator should be notified. This flexibility allows users to tailor email notifications to suit their unique requirements by configuring the flow item to match specific conditions.

The effectiveness of the Email Flow Item relies on providing the correct parameters within the workflow fulfillment JSON. This JSON configuration enables users to customize email templates, specify recipient addresses, and define conditions for email delivery.

This guide will walk you through the process of creating a Send Email Flow Item. However, it's important to note that this guide assumes familiarity with flow items and definitions. This means that descriptions of inputs are not provided, and the steps outlined here are specific to the context of creating a Send Email Flow Item. For more detailed information, please refer to the following pages:

Additionally, since the send email flow sends an email, you must have already created an email template in EmpowerID. Please refer to the email template page for more details.
