Email

Actions that send emails.

This core reference entry is suited for beginner-level builders.

Note: Due to rate limiting from Sendgrid on the default shared email address, a maximum of 50 recipients can be specified per email. If you need more than this limit for your app, consider creating your own Sendgrid account as outlined here.

Send email

When a domain name is set, the email will come from what_you_want@your_domain.com. Customize this email in the Domain & Email section in the Settings Tab.

Note: A domain name must be set up before customizing email behavior. Custom domains are available on Personal plans or higher.
