Email Alert Actions

Send emails from flows by reusing already-configured workflow email alerts.

The email alert is already configured with the email's contents, recipients, and sender, so the flow only has to provide the record ID. Email alerts are entity-specific. For more information about creating email alerts, see Creating Email Alerts for Workflow, Approvals, or Milestones in Salesforce Help. Make sure to review the daily limits for emails sent from email alerts.

This object is available in API version 32.0 and later.

  • Get information about a specific email alert action: /services/data/vXX.X/actions/custom/emailAlert/entity_name/action_name

Formats: JSON, XML
