Email & Notification Actions
The email family sends transactional email from a running automation. The analytics family emits named events used for notifications, metrics, and downstream tracking.
Email — Send
One operator. Recipients support templates; cc/bcc/replyTo accept a single address or an array.
| Prop | Description |
|---|---|
to |
Recipient address (templatable). Required. |
subject |
Email subject (templatable). Required. |
body |
Email body (templatable). Required. |
from |
Sender address (defaults to the configured SMTP sender). |
cc |
Carbon-copy address(es) — string or array. |
bcc |
Blind-copy address(es) — string or array. |
replyTo |
Reply-to address(es) — string or array. |
- name: orderConfirmation
type: email
operator: send
props:
to: '{{trigger.data.customer_email}}'
subject: 'Order {{trigger.data.id}} confirmed'
body: 'Thanks for your order! Total: ${{trigger.data.amount}}'
cc: [sales@example.com]
replyTo: support@example.com
Email requires SMTP to be configured. When SMTP_HOST is unset, email is disabled and the send is logged rather than delivered — Sovrium does not silently fall back to a local mail catcher in production. Configure SMTP via env vars (see Environment Variables and the app's auth/email settings).
Analytics — Track (Notifications & Metrics)
One operator. Emits a named event with arbitrary properties — the foundation for in-app notifications, usage metrics, and downstream sinks.
| Prop | Description |
|---|---|
event |
Event name (e.g. order.created, user.invited). Required. |
properties |
Key-value event properties (templatable). |
- name: trackSignup
type: analytics
operator: track
props:
event: user.signed_up
properties:
userId: '{{trigger.data.id}}'
plan: '{{trigger.data.plan}}'
Notifications are event-driven. Rather than a standalone notifications config block, Sovrium drives in-app and email notifications from automation events: an analytics/track event (or a record/auth trigger) fans out to channels, and an email/send action delivers the message. Compose these with flow control and digest batching for daily summaries.
