Introduction to Email Tool recipe

Use the Email Tool recipe to create a Python tool that securely authenticates with a configured email account and sends emails. The tool can send emails from a fixed sender mailbox to one or more recipients in either plain text or HTML format.
The tool extracts structured input fields, like From_Email, To_Email, CC, BCC, Reply_To, Subject, and message content to compose and send emails efficiently. Use this tool to enable your AI agents to send system or transactional emails and automate workflows distributing notifications or updates.
To complete the email integration, configure the Email Handler recipe in Application Integration to read emails from the mailbox. For detailed, step-by-step instructions, see the Email Handler recipe guide in Application Integration.
