Send Mail

This task sends an email to multiple email addresses. It can also send local attachments, such as log files.

The result state of this task indicates only that the email was successfully sent to a mail server. It does not indicate whether the email was received by the recipients.

If you are planning to send emails when a previous task fails, make sure to set the Continue on Failure global property to true. For detailed information, see Global Workflow Properties.

Example

Embed images in email templates

The Send Mail feature officially does not support embedded images, but you can use the Base64 Image Encoder as a workaround. The Base64 Image Encoder is able to convert your image into a base64 encoded string that can be used in HTML code of your email template.

To embed images in the email template:

Go to Base64 Image Encoder.
Drag and drop your image. Alternatively, you can select OR CLICK HERE.
Once the image is uploaded, select Copy image.
Paste the encoded string into the body of your email template.
Enclose the string with <img> elements as shown in the following example.

Encoded string example

<img src="data:image/png;base64,/9j/4RiDRXhpZgAATU0AKgA..." width="100" height="50" alt="Ataccama Logo">
