Configuring Email Notifications from Deluge Script

The sendmail task in Deluge Script can be used to send emails from your Zoho Creator application. The sendmail task can be invoked on form actions or field actions or by invoking custom actions in reports. For example, you can write script to send mail when an existing record is updated in the database or when a field value is modified. Refer Send Mail task in Deluge Scripting, for more information.
