Using System_Mail_Send

Once you have configured the Mail Module, you can use the System_Mail_Send Process Definition to send email. This Process Definition is designed to be included in Chain Definitions, where it can email output from other Chain Processes in the Chain, or added to a Step that is only executed when a Chain Process has reached status Error.

Note: To use the System_Mail_Send Process Definition, you must have the Module.Mail license key.

Note: If you make extensive use of alerts and/or notifications, Redwood recommends the Active Monitoring module, because it lets you configure alerts and notifications centrally.
