**Where to find it:** Customer profile → Send email | Automations → Add Action → Actions on related items → Send email

**Who can access it:** All team members can send from a customer profile. Admins can add email actions in automations.

## Email

Email lets you send messages to users, team members, or external email addresses directly from Startdeliver. Use it for one-off outreach from a customer profile or for repeatable sends inside an automation.

Emails are sent from a connected mail account or a configured sender address. The available sender options depend on your team's setup.

***

### Sender

Choose who the email is sent from.

**My TeamMember** sends from your own connected email address. Use this for direct outreach that should come from you.

**The customer's team member** sends from the team member assigned to the customer at send time. Use this in automations when the message should come from the responsible CSM instead of a shared inbox.

If no team member is assigned, set a fallback sender. That ensures the email still sends.

**Shared addresses** send from a shared inbox such as `info@` or `support@`. Use this for team-wide or transactional communication.

***

### Recipients

The main recipient is filled in by default. You can add more recipients in **TO**, **CC**, and **BCC**.

Recipients can be:

* customer users
* team members
* plain email addresses

This gives you flexibility for direct customer outreach, internal visibility, or external stakeholders.

***

### Attachments

Attach files directly to the email before sending. This is useful for sharing documents, follow-ups, or supporting material without leaving Startdeliver.

***

### Templates

Load a messaging template to pre-fill the subject and body. This speeds up repetitive sends and keeps communication consistent across the team.

Manage messaging templates in **Settings → Templates**.

→ See [Templates & projects](/platform-settings/templates-and-projects.md)

***

### Sending from a customer profile

Use customer profile email when you want to send a message in the moment.

Common examples:

* onboarding follow-up
* meeting recap
* renewal outreach

This is best for personal, manual communication tied to a specific customer.

***

### Sending from automations

Use email in an automation when the message should send automatically based on a rule, schedule, or workflow step.

A common setup is to send from **The customer's team member** so the email feels personal even when it is automated.

If you use this option, make sure a fallback sender is configured.
