Why This Node?
The built-in n8n Send Email node requires users to manually enter the "From" email address for each node instance. This can lead to:
- Configuration errors when the wrong sender is used
- Time wasted re-entering the same email address
- Inconsistent sender addresses across workflows
This node solves these problems by:
- Auto-populating the From address from your SMTP credentials
- Preventing modification of the sender address in the node UI
- Ensuring consistent sender identity across all workflows
Features
- Fixed From Address: Automatically uses the email from SMTP credentials
- AI Agent Compatible: Works as a tool in AI Agent workflows
- Multiple Formats: Supports Text, HTML, or Both
- Full Email Options: CC, BCC, Reply-To support
- Attachments: Send files via binary data
- Connection Test: Built-in SMTP verification
