# Send Email
|
||||
|
||||
The Send Email node is used to send an email via an SMTP email server.
|
||||
|
||||
::: tip 🔑 Credential
|
||||
You can find authentication information for this node [here](../../../credentials/SendEmail/README.md).
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
::: tip 💡 Keep in mind
|
||||
1. Before sending, ensure that you have already created email addresses that are approved for sending on your SMTP service.
|
||||
2. The Send Email node merely sends an email via your SMTP server and plays no part in email deliverability.
|
||||
3. To attach a file, you will need to use an additional node such as the [Read Binary File](../../core-nodes/ReadBinaryFile/README.md) node or the [HTTP Request](../../core-nodes/HTTPRequest/README.md) node to pass a file as a data property.

## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow allows you to send an email using the Send Email node. You can also find the [workflow](https://n8n.io/workflows/584) on the website. This example usage workflow would use the following two nodes.
|
||||
- [Start](../../core-nodes/Start/README.md)
|
||||
- [Send Email]()
|
||||
|
||||
The final workflow should look like the following image.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start node
|
||||
|
||||
The start node exists by default when you create a new workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Send Email node
|
||||
|
||||
1. First of all, you'll have to enter credentials for the Send Email node. You can find out how to do that [here](../../../credentials/SendEmail/README.md).
|
||||
2. Enter the email address you want to send from in the *From Email* field.
|
||||
3. Enter the recipient email address in the *To Email* field.
|
||||
4. Enter a subject for your message in the *Subject* field.
