The Send Email block delivers workflow results to one or more recipients. Use it to notify stakeholders when a workflow finishes, distribute data summaries on a schedule, or alert users when a dataset condition is met.

Attaching a CSV
Toggle Attach dataset to on to include the connected dataset as a .csv file attached to the email. The attachment contains all columns and rows from the dataset at the time the workflow runs, using the dataset name as the filename.
To send a CSV attachment:
- Connect a dataset to the Data input.
- Enable the Attach dataset toggle.
- Configure To emails, Subject, and Body HTML as normal.
The attachment is generated fresh on each run, so recipients always receive the current snapshot of the data.
Recipients
The To emails field accepts one or more addresses. Atlas may pre-fill it with your profile email as a starting point — type over it or add additional addresses separated by commas to reach whoever you need.
Common use cases
Periodic form response summaries — Pair with a scheduled workflow that reads new submissions from your form's dataset and emails a summary to your team. This is the recommended way to receive email alerts when users submit an Atlas form.
Data condition alerts — Filter a dataset for features that meet a threshold, then email the filtered results to the relevant recipients.
Workflow completion notifications — Place Send Email as the final block in a long-running analysis to notify stakeholders when results are ready.
Triggering an email workflow
Workflows containing Send Email can run on a schedule or be started on demand via a Webhook Trigger from an external system such as Zapier or Make.
