# create an SMTP connection and run it
this.connect(
connector_type='SMTP',
inputs={
'from_': 'Cloudomation <info@cloudomation.com>',
'to': 'info@cloudomation.com',
'subject': 'Cloudomation email',
# the text will be the email body. Alternatively you could add
# a html formatted body with the key 'html'.

Sending attachments is also possible with this connector type. Add a property 'attachments' to the inputs dict. There are two ways to specify attachments:

  • with cloudomation:filename where filename points to a file in the cloudomation workspace
  • with an URL where URL points to a http/https accessible file

The attachmentsproperty is of type list.
