How can I send email from a form in ClaySys AppForms?

Send Email

  1. Send an Email

       This is a feature included in the AppForms to generate an email, so that the sender will receive that email as soon as the button is triggered and the entire form is also attached along with the mail in a pdf format.

         Step 1: Create a form as shown below in-order to show the ‘Send an Email’ property.
