Send Email Step — Email on Every NFC Tag Tap
Use the Send Email step to send one email each time someone taps a Kitetag. Supports templates so you can include the data a Tapper just entered.
**TL;DR:** Send Email is a silent [Interaction Builder](/docs/platform-guide/interaction-builder/) step that sends one email when it runs. The subject and body support templates, so you can include data the Tapper just submitted.
What does it do?
When the flow reaches a Send Email step, it sends a single email in the background — the Tapper sees no email screen and the flow continues to the next step. Because it is silent, place it after the step that produces the data you want to send (usually a Form Input step).
When should you use it?
- Lead capture — a tap collects a name and email, and you receive a notification
- Check-in alerts — notify a team that a tag was tapped at a location
- Self-send — email the Tapper a copy of what they submitted
How do you set it up?
- Connect a Gmail account from the Apps page first (Send Email delivers through your connected Gmail). See the Apps overview.
- In the Interaction Builder, click Add Step → Send Email (Actions category).
- Set the recipient(s), subject, and body. All support KDS and form templates — for example, send to the address a Tapper entered in a prior Form Input step.
- Place the step after the Form Input it depends on.
- Publish and assign the interaction to a Kitetag Group.
Next steps
- Collect the data to email with a Form Input step.
- Prefer machine-to-machine delivery? Use Webhooks or Zapier.
