# Send Mail

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

With the _Send Mail_ Action Step, you can send a mail with the SMTP protocol. You can enter the
recipient, the subject, or send attachments just as with other mail programs.

You can only use the Send Mail Action Step within a Mail Session. You enter the information required
for the connection to the mail server in the Mail Session.

## Properties

attached files is not found in the production run, the Action Step is ended with an error.

**First directory path** Path to the directory, in which the first file to be attached, is located.
Enter the absolute or relative path. If relative, then the path refers to the variable _Base Path_.

**First file name** Contains the path to the first file that is to be attached.

**Second directory path** Path to the directory, in which the second file to be attached, is
located. Enter the absolute or relative path. If relative, then the path refers to the variable

## Wizard

The wizard is split into two tabs, **Message** and **Attachment**.

In the Message area, you can enter text under **Body**. You can link the content with **Insert
Available Variables**, assuming you defined variables in advance either using the Activity
Parameters or the Workflow Based Variables. Select the encoding to use between UTF-8, UTF-16,
Shift-JIS, and EUC-JP.

The pin variable is only displayed if you have defined a variable of type Bool using the Activity
Parameters or the Workflow Based Variables.

In the Attachment area, you can add up to three attachments to the mail. Under Directory path, you
define the path to the new file to be created. You can create an absolute path or a path relative to
the _Base Path_. The default value is %STWS\_BASEPATH%. Select an existing path. To construct the
path, you can also insert variables from the workflow.

You can find further explanations under [Properties](#properties).
