The To field is written from XPODA_CLIENT_USERS (you can also write it as SELECT 'xxxx@xxxxx.xxx'). The Subject field is typed as text. Content property field is typed.
When the Send Mail button is clicked, if the data is correct, the message is displayed.

In the Mail Editor that opens, click on the Add Picture button as shown in the picture below.

Mail Link Usage
The use of Mail Link is used to direct the users we send mail to the desired forms via a link. In order to use the Mail Link feature, let's open the Send E-mail action and edit it as in the following description.
- Confirmation form should be selected as the name of the form we want to go with the link.
- Confirmation ID Field field should be the ID that updates the entire form in the form to be linked.
- If linked list is not selected; UserTableID information is transmitted in the part written in the Confirmation ID Field field. After it is saved, mail sending can be done or mail sending can be done by calling a record to the form.
- If linked list is selected; UserTableID, ProjectID, FormTypeID fields must be added in the list in the form, otherwise mail sending process will not be realized.
Let's create the form we want to go to in the link sent by mail. The form with the fields below is our form named Mail_Link added in the Confirmation form field. In this form, let's add a few fields with ID, Current and Stock fields and save the form.
Then come back to our Send E-Mail action and fill in the following fields accordingly.
- Confirmation Form: Let's select the form we want to go to when the link is clicked, that is, the Mail_Link form in our example.
- Confirmation ID: Let's select our ID field in the form.
- Confirmation User: Let's write the user code entered by Xpoda Client.
- Confirm Password: Let's write the password of the user entered on the Xpoda Client side.

After saving the action with the Save button, let's save the form and run our project with the Run button. Then let's trigger our Send E-mail action. After performing this action, an e-mail will be sent as below and the link in this e-mail will take us to the form named Mail_Link.
Note : When using this action, all data in the form will be redirected to the service. If a large image is added to the Image field in the form, it may take a long time to redirect to the service. Accordingly, delays will occur in the use of send mail action.
