Builders configure the recipient addresses, subject line, and body content using a template editor that supports field variable placeholders to personalise each message with record data.<\/p>\n<h2>Email Template Configuration<\/h2>\n<p>The Email Task editor allows static text combined with field merge tags from the triggering record. For example, a support ticket submission can send an acknowledgement email to the submitter&#8217;s email address field with their name and a reference number pulled directly from the form data. HTML formatting is supported for styled emails.<\/p>\n<h2>Email Tasks vs Deluge sendMail<\/h2>\n<p>Email Tasks are the no-code approach to automated emails in Creator; they require no Deluge scripting and are configured through a visual interface. The Deluge <code>sendMail<\/code> function provides greater control for dynamic recipient logic, conditional content, or sending from specific sender addresses. For straightforward notification emails tied to a single workflow event, Email Tasks are the faster and simpler option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Email Task in Zoho Creator is a workflow action that sends an automated email when a defined form event occurs, using configurable templates and field-mapped content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Email Task | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"An Email Task in Zoho Creator is a workflow action that sends an automated email when a defined form event occurs, using configurable templates and field-m","seo_keyword":"Zoho Creator email task","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1258],"class_list":["post-5139","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-creator"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
