    • Article:

    • Article: Dynamic expressions are used both to set up conditions, and are highly useful in different actions that you may want to add to your workflows.

    • Article: Conditions are used to determine whether a workflow or action should run or not, by checking whether something is true.

    • Article series: Using workflows to let the user navigate between pages and page sections.


Debugging

All apps have the occasional bug, and our debugging tools help you squish them efficiently. The debugger helps you go through workflows step by step to see how they perform and the values they return.

Email

Workflows

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 .

Send email

This action sends an email from the app. If a domain name has not been setup yet, the email will come from [your-appname]-no-reply@bubbleapps.io. 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.

To

Specify the email to send the email to. It can either be 'Current user's email' or the content of an input. Send more than one email at once by defining a list of emails and using the 'join' property with a comma ','. For example, email_1@bubble.io, email_2@bubble.io.

Specify a different reply-to address

Check this box to specify a different reply-to address.

Reply to

Enter the reply-to address. For example, it can be 'Current user's email.'

Sender name

Instead of showing the email address, format the name of the sender by entering the name here.

Cc

Define the email addresses to cc the email to.

Bcc

Define the email addresses to bcc the email to.

Subject

Define the subject of the email.

Body

Define the body of the email. Use 'Insert dynamic data' to make the content dynamic.

Do not apply a Sendgrid template

When using Sendgrid to send emails, you can define a template ID in the Domain & Email section in the Settings Tab. Check this box, and no template will be used for the current action.

Note: This option is available when a domain name is set up in the Domain & Email section in the Settings Tab.

Attachments

You can attach files to the emails you send, provided the total size is smaller than 19 MB.

At this time, only files stored on your app's Bubble file storage are supported as email attachments. File stored elsewhere, such as on Box, will not be available as an email attachment.

Unsubscribe_group_id

Enter the unsubscribe group ID here. It will add an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.

Send meeting request by email

This action sends a meeting request that is interpreted as such by Gmail, Outlook, iCal, etc.

To

Enter the email to send the email to. It can either be 'Current user's email' or the content of an input, etc.

Sender name

Instead of showing the email address, format the name of the sender by entering the name here.

Organizer

Sequence

Method

UID

Status

Start time

Define the starting time of the event/meeting. It should be of type date.

Set a length instead of an end time

Description

Location

Change the body of the email

Do not apply a Sendgrid template

When using Sendgrid to send emails, you can define a template ID in the Domain & Email section in the Settings Tab. Check this box, and no template will be used for the current action.

Note: This option is available when a domain name is set up in the Domain & Email section in the Settings Tab.
