How can email notifications be sent from a flow in Flow Designer?

The correct approach to send email notifications from a flow in Flow Designer is by using the "Send Email" action. This action allows you to specify the recipient(s), subject, body of the email, and other email parameters directly within the flow. It offers the flexibility to dynamically populate data into the email based on the flow's context or inputs, which is essential for creating informative and relevant notifications.

Using the "Send Email" action is straightforward and integrates seamlessly with the flow, ensuring that notifications can be sent reliably as part of the flow's execution. This method is designed for on-demand email communications and can be configured to suit various scenarios, such as alerting users to task updates, system alerts, or reminders.

Other options, while related to email notifications, do not serve the same purpose in the context of directly sending emails from a flow. For instance, the "Notify User" action is primarily aimed at sending notifications within the ServiceNow platform, which may not translate into an email format as typically expected.
