Email – Add Recipients from Query

This activity let’s you add recipients to an email, based on those records that come back in a query (optionally filtering to just related records). The use case for this is where you want to send a single email to a group of recipients (contacts, accounts, users, etc), but the recipients are dynamic based on the current record.

Note: When you use this activity to update a Draft email, to send the email you need to call the activity “Email – Send Saved Email”

Examples:

  • When an opportunity closes, email the Stakeholders and Sales Team.
  • You have a workflow on an account to send an email, and you want to send it To everybody with a certain connection role, and CC everybody with a different role.
