In this post, we will send an email having an HTML body. This is useful if you want to send customized good-looking emails to your team or anyone.
Prerequisites
- UiPath Studio
- Outlook
Make sure you are logged in to the Outlook application. It is not necessary to keep the outlook open during the automation run.
Create a New Process
Open UiPath Studio, click on New Process. I will name this SendHTMLEmail. I have used the YouTube Terms of Service Change email and got its HTML code using Inspect.
Put the HTML code you want to send into a text file and place it somewhere on your local system.
