1. Head over to your Adalo app dashboard.
2. Find the “Database” section and click on it.
3. Create a new collection by hitting the “+ Add Collection” button.
4. Give your collection a name, like “Email Templates”.
5. Add some properties to your collection:

• TemplateName (Text)
• Subject (Text)
• Body (Multiline Text)

1. Click on the “Email Templates” collection.
2. Click on “+ Add Item” to add a new email template.
3. Fill in the fields with your template data:

• TemplateName: e.g., “Welcome Email”
• Subject: e.g., “Welcome to Our App!”
• Body: e.g., “Hello {{Name}}, Welcome to our app. We are happy to have you here.”

1. Use a service like SendGrid, Zapier, or Integromat to send emails.
2. Create an account on your chosen service and set up your email configurations.
3. Get the API key or necessary credentials from your email service provider.

1. Go back to your Adalo app.
2. Select the screen where you want to trigger the email sending.
3. Add a button or a form submission that will trigger the custom action.
4. Set up a custom action by using the "+" button and selecting “External Collections” if available, or “Custom Actions” in the components section.

1. Name your custom action, something like “Send Welcome Email”.
2. Configure the HTTP request to connect with your email service:

• Method: POST
• URL: API endpoint from your email service provider.
• Headers: Add a header for authentication, e.g., “Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY”.
• Body: Use JSON format to include:
  • to
  • subject
  • content

Example JSON body:

{
  "personalizations": [{
    "to": [{"email": "[email protected]"}],
    "subject": "{{Subject}}"
  }],
  "from": {"email": "[email protected]"},
  "content": [{
    "type": "text/html",
    "value": "{{Body}}"
  }]
}

1. In the custom action, map the Adalo fields to your JSON body placeholders.
2. For example, map {{Subject}} to the Subject property of the Email Templates collection.
3. Similarly, map {{Body}} to the Body property, and make sure to accommodate dynamic fields like {{Name}}.

1. Publish your Adalo app or update the version if necessary.
2. Navigate to the screen where the email action setup is completed.
3. Trigger the action either by clicking the button or submitting the form.
4. Check the recipient’s email inbox to verify that the email has been sent correctly and appears formatted as expected.

Experiment and refine the template and actions as necessary to ensure everything works seamlessly.
