A method to send messages and data attachments over the internet to one or more recipients. Email can be used for alerts, reports, and sharing data files from Rayven.io to users or systems that accept email inputs.
What is an Email?
The Email is designed to automate the sending of emails when it receives a payload in the workflow. This node requires the specification of an email address to which the message will be sent. Its primary purpose is to facilitate real-time notifications and alerts based on workflow events or data conditions. By using the Email node, users can ensure timely communication and response to critical events, such as system errors, threshold breaches, or operational updates. This enhances the overall responsiveness and efficiency of the IoT system, providing a reliable mechanism for keeping stakeholders informed and enabling prompt action when necessary.
