Send Mail
With the Send Mail action step, you can send a mail with the SMTP protocol. You can enter the recipient, the subject, or send attachments just as with other mail programs.
You can only use the Send Mail action step within a Mail Session. You enter the information required for the connection to the mail server in the Mail Session.

Wizard
The wizard is split into two tabs, Message and Attachment.
In the Message area, you can enter text under Body. You can link the content with Insert Available Variables, assuming you defined variables in advance either using the Activity Parameters or the Workflow Based Variables. Select the encoding to use between UTF-8, UTF-16, Shift-JIS, and EUC-JP.
The pin variable is only displayed if you have defined a variable of type Bool using the Activity Parameters or the Workflow Based Variables.
In the Attachment area, you can add up to three attachments to the mail. Under Directory path, you define the path to the new file to be created. You can create an absolute path or a path relative to the Base Path. The default value is %STWS_BASEPATH%. Select an existing path. To construct the path, you can also insert variables from the workflow.
You can find further explanations under Properties.
