Send Gmail Message
The Send Gmail Message block sends an email from a Google account connected to your MindStudio workspace.
Send emails from a connected Gmail account
The Send Gmail Message block sends an email from a Google account connected to your MindStudio workspace. It takes a recipient address (or multiple comma-separated addresses), a subject line, and a message body, then dispatches the email through Gmail. A Google OAuth connection is required to authorize the block to send on behalf of the account.
The message body can be formatted in one of three ways: plain text, raw HTML, or Markdown, which is automatically converted before sending. This gives you control over whether the email arrives as a simple text message or a formatted one. The block returns a single output — the Gmail message ID of the sent email — which can be used downstream to reference or log the specific message.
This block fits into workflows that need to notify users, deliver reports, confirm actions, or route information via email. Common patterns include sending AI-generated summaries, triggering confirmation emails after form submissions, or distributing scheduled content to a list of recipients.

What parameters are required to use this block?
The block requires a recipient email address in the 'to' field (multiple addresses can be comma-separated), a subject line, a message body, and a messageType value of either 'plain', 'html', or 'markdown'. A Google OAuth connection ID is also needed to authorize sending.
What does the block return after sending an email?
The block returns a single output field: messageId, which is the Gmail message ID assigned to the sent email. This can be used in subsequent workflow steps to reference the specific message.
What is the difference between the plain, html, and markdown message types?
Setting messageType to 'plain' sends the body as unformatted text. 'html' sends raw HTML directly as the email body. 'markdown' automatically converts the Markdown content into a formatted email before sending.
Can I send an email to multiple recipients at once?
Yes. The 'to' field accepts multiple email addresses as a comma-separated string, so a single block execution can address more than one recipient.
What kinds of workflows commonly use this block?
This block is commonly used in notification workflows, AI-generated report delivery, form confirmation flows, scheduled content distribution, and any workflow that needs to communicate results or trigger actions via email.
