# Send email Action

## Primer Emails app

This app gives you the ability to send yourself or your team an email from within a workflow. This can be used with [Monitors](https://primer.io/docs/monitors/overview.md) notifications, but could also be used together with the Primer Disputes app, or even with the Primer Payments app and "Payment Status updated" trigger when a single payment fails.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Do note that this action is only intended to send email notifications to yourself, not to your customers. There are no customization options and the email will arrive with a Primer header. If you do want to send emails to your customers, we have dedicated integrations with third-parties like Sendgrid for example.

## Action inputs

The "Send email" action currently supports the following inputs:

| Input | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Subject | text | Email subject. |
| Header | text | The email body can have a different header. |
| Email table | list of values | You can manually create a list of fields and values that will be displayed as a table by adding items and setting the "field name" and "field value" fields accordingly. |
| Recipient email(s) | text | One or multiple email addresses an email should be sent to. |

You can't use HTML or change the formatting or sender. Emails will always be sent from *noreply(@)primer.io* and will come with predefined formatting.

Here is an example for an email sent from this action:
