Email by Kissflow

When something happens in a trigger or action step of your integration, you can use Email by Kissflow to send emails to recipients outside your account and email addresses marked in previous trigger/action steps.

You can also connect email apps like Gmail and Microsoft Outlook to send emails in Kissflow Integration.

 

How does it work?

Here's an example of how you can use the email action.

  1. You configure a trigger/action, for example, a process trigger, When an item completes its workflow.
  2. Kissflow sends an email on your behalf when the trigger/action is completed.
