• Users on the free plan can only send emails to their own email address associated with their Apify account.
• Paying users can send emails to up to 20 different recipients.

Usage

From other Apify actor

await Apify.call('apify/send-mail', {
    to: 'test@apify.com',
    subject: 'Test from act',
    text: "Email text",
    attachments: [{
        filename: 'test.txt',
        data: 'dGVzdCBzZmFzZGFzZGFzZGFzZA'
    }]
});

From Apify actor/task webhook

Calling this actor via a webhook is very handy because you can ensure it is sent only after specific event happens. Here is an example setup to send email after failed run.

1. Open Webhooks tab of the actor/task that you want to monitor.
2. Set Event types to Run failed and Run timed out.
3. URL is the RUN API endpoint of this actor, just fill your API token - https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apify~send-mail/runs?token=APIFY_API_TOKEN
4. Payload template represents the body that is sent to this actor:

Example of payload that sends run ID in the email text:

{
    "to": "test@apify.com",
    "subject": "Task Scrape-website run failed",
    "text": {{eventData.actorRunId}}
}
