Verifying Emails
It is possible to check an email has successfully been sent using the Email tab at the top of the system console. System Console → Email Tab. See System Console
Attachments
Currently unsupported in Actionflows. To send an email with an attachment see Sending Emails.
Built-in Error Handling
Basic validation is performed to ensure that email addresses are well-formed. If they are not this will cause the actionflow to fail immediately. At least one address must be resolved from amongst the to, cc and bcc.
Other errors, such as email addresses for accounts that don’t exist, won’t cause a failure of the actionflow but they will result in the email sending not succeeding.
