The Send Email task can be used to send email using standard SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Email can be sent to multiple recipients and can also include one or more attachments. This task can be used for a variety of purposes, including sending business documents (for example, spreadsheets, PDFs, etc.) to trading partners, sending alerts when Projects encounter problems, or sending SMS text messages.
Emails can be optionally encrypted and digitally signed using S/MIME standards. Encrypting the email will protect the contents and can only be deciphered by a recipient with the appropriate Private Key. Digital signatures may also be added to allow the recipient to verify your identity. Refer to the Quick Start for Secure Email to learn more about the Sign Message and Encrypt Message attributes on the Advanced tab.
