Send email with Decision Request

warning

This connector is now in Deprecated status. It is no longer available for new users and is not actively maintained. We will provide a minimum six-month notice before its retirement. We recommend upgrading to the newer supported version of this connector.

The Send email with Decision Request message action allows you to send an email containing clickable links that allows a recipient to progress further in a Flow.

This message action allows you to provide email recipients with clickable links for choosing how and whether to progress further through a Flow. For example, if an approval email is generated in a Flow, the email recipient can choose to either approve or deny the request by clicking on the appropriate link in the email.

• A clickable link is automatically generated and inserted at the bottom of the email body for each outcome connected from the message step.

• When the email recipient clicks on a link in the email, they are redirected to that outcome path in the Flow.

For a worked example of a simple email approval application using this type of message action, refer to Sending an email with a decision request.

You can configure the following values for the email:

• An object contact value containing the email address to send the email from.

• A list contact value containing multiple email addresses to send the email to.

• The body of the email, using standard HTML formatting in a content value.

• The body of the email, using text in a string value, as an alternative for email applications that do not render HTML content.

• A list $File value containing a list of file attachments that have been previously uploaded to the Email connector.
