Send scheduled emails from Gmail or any mailbox

Send recurring and one-time emails from your own mailbox: Gmail, Google Workspace, iCloud, Fastmail, Outlook, Zoho, or any SMTP server. Recipients see your real address, and the message can be filled in from any API first.

#Example: a weekly report email

Every Monday at 08:00, fetch last week's numbers and email them:

{
  "name": "Weekly numbers",
  "cron": { "expression": "0 8 * * MON", "time_zone": "America/Chicago" },
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "report", "request": { "method": "GET", "endpoint": "https://analytics.example.com/api/reports/last-week", "credential_id": "YOUR_ANALYTICS_TOKEN_ID" } },
    { "id": "email", "smtp_send_email": {
        "credential_id": "YOUR_GMAIL_CREDENTIAL_ID",
        "to": "team@acme.com",
        "subject": "Week of {{ format(now:America/Chicago - days(7), \"MMM DD\") }}: {{ $.signups }} signups",
        "text": "Signups: {{ $.signups }}\nRevenue: ${{ $.revenue }}\nChurned: {{ $.churned }}\n\nFull report: https://analytics.example.com/weekly" } }
  ]
}

#Example: a one-time reminder email

{
  "name": "Renew the lease",
  "run_at": "2027-03-01T09:00:00-08:00",
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "email", "smtp_send_email": {
        "credential_id": "YOUR_GMAIL_CREDENTIAL_ID",
        "to": "me@example.com",
        "subject": "Lease renewal due this month",
        "text": "The office lease renews on March 31. Call the landlord this week." } }
  ]
}

#Set up

Add an SMTP credential in Settings → Credentials. Templates fill in the server for common providers:

cronservices always uses TLS and refuses a server that doesn't offer it. Messages are plain text. For sending from a domain at volume, use Resend or SendGrid.

#Reference

#Send an email from your mailbox: smtp_send_email

Sends A plain-text email through your own SMTP server, over TLS or STARTTLS. Output for the next step: {"to": …, "subject": …} as sent, once the mail server accepts the message.
