Email

The Email action allows your bot to send emails to the specified email address.

tip
You don’t need to have a configured mail server to send messages using the Email tag. However, all messages will have Tovie Platform as their sender. This behavior cannot be changed. If you want to connect your own SMTP server, use the $mail built-in service instead.
