WeWeb Email ​

SIMPLE INTERFACE EMAIL ACTION

This page covers the lightweight WeWeb Email plugin for interface workflows.

For most real app use cases, we recommend using the backend Send Email action in the Data & API tab instead.

Use the backend action when you need auth emails, password reset emails, magic links, OTP emails, or any other email that should be sent from secure server-side logic.

Add plugin ​

To start working with the WeWeb Email plugin, go to the Plugins > Extensions menu:

WeWeb Email plugin

Send email ​

Once you've added the WeWeb Email plugin to your project, you will have access to the Send an email no-code workflow action:

Plugin limits ​

The WeWeb Email plugin was developed to allow you to add an email component to your app quickly and securely at the beginning of a project.

This plugin will let you send an email through an action in a workflow.

However, as your project grows, you will quickly feel limited because:

  • You can't customize the sender,
  • You can only send text, and
  • A maximum of 10 emails/hour.

For most projects, the next step is WeWeb's built-in backend Send Email action in Data & API, not another plugin.

That setup is a better fit for:

  • Auth emails such as verification, password reset, magic links, and OTP
  • API Endpoint emails such as receipts, notifications, and internal alerts
  • Secure email sending from backend workflows instead of interface-only workflows

TIP

You can still use integrations like Resend, SendGrid, or Postmark if you need provider-specific features, but they are now optional rather than the default recommendation.
