    • Body (HTML or Plain)Required

      You can place HTML in here and we will send it as is. If this is plain text, we will try to convert it to some very basic HTML for greater client compatibility.

    • Attachment

      A file object to be attached to the email. Plain text content will converted into a txt file and attached. Please note, if the file is over ~10mb or so, you should explore using other email sending techniques (like Gmail or SMTP).

    • From Name

      This will be your "display name" when sending. Want to send from your own email address? Try Mailgun, IMAP, Mandrill or Gmail apps instead.

      In order to trigger when emails are opened, this must be paired with a separate Zap using the Send Outbound Email action, with the Enable Read Receipts? field set to True.

      To test with a live email, send an email to yourself using your Send Outbound Email action (with read receipts enabled) and open it, then test this trigger immediately for samples. If you don't need to test with live data, click Skip Test to use static test data.
