# Emails

Your app will not use Bubble’s native “send email” functionality, but instead use our own sendGrid API workflow that generates a nicely-formatted HTML email from the system.

To start using this feature, please set up your SendGrid email by following [this step in our Quickstart Guide](https://docs.airdev.co/canvas/quickstart-guide#step-2-setting-up-your-email).

![send\_email API workflow in Canvas: App Foundation template](/files/-LaSPYItNyqcAPmZhWU1)

To send a nicely-formatted HTML email, go to the `Workflows` tab > select `Custom Events` > Select `Schedule API workflow` > select `send_email` from the API workflow dropdown and set the scheduled date to `Current date/time`.

Fill out the email content in the additional fields.

* **from\_name (required)** - *\*\**Sender's name to display
* **from\_email (required)** - Sender's email

  * Link in the body:  `<a href="link url">Words to be hyperlinked</a>`

* **button\_link (optional)** - The link which the button is linked to
* **attachment (optional)** - If this is used, the file will be sent along with the email
* **button\_color (automatically populated)** - This is added from the field `Primary Color` on the Website object
* **signature (automatically populated)** - By default this will be `The [app name] team` but you can add a different text in this field to override it
* **logo** - By default, this is added from the field `Logo light` on the `Website` object, but you can also add a different logo in the API workflow parameter to override it.&#x20;
