20.2 Sending Emails with Templates

Send email from a native page process or workflow activity.

Use the native Send E-Mail page process or workflow activity to deliver a message. The native action type in task definitions and automations works the same way. When you need to send a mail from business logic, use the SEND function or procedure in the APEX_MAIL package. To monitor the queue of outgoing emails, use the APEX_MAIL_QUEUE view, and to view recently sent email consult the APEX_MAIL_LOG view.
