Hey fellow OutSystems developers,
The team at OutPower (OutSystems' Training and Recruitment) has released a new tutorial, on how to send emails from a Reactive Web Application:
OutPower Tutorial - RWA - Sending an Email - YouTube link: https://youtu.be/ks5CbksqED8
On this tutorial we dive into a workaround that allows us to send emails from a reactive web application. We go through all steps and explain the approach that was taken to make the demo work..
This tutorial is part of a Reactive series which, I would say, is awesome, but that's me! ;) That's not all though, there is more... have a look in the youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/OutPower
So that you can understand what I mean, here's the list of tutorials.

Any feedback is welcome!
Stay safe!

Another way to send emails from reactive is to use an external mail provider, setup templates there and call their email service via REST API.

Indeed true, that is another possible strategy, but that is a very different type of approach that involves a different system and can be applied to any type of application, not specific to a Reactive web application.

In the tutorial, it's mentioned you can expose/consume the email through REST API too, avoiding strong dependencies, same as using a Service action (REST API behind the scenes).
Using an external mail provider or not is your choice.
Thanks for the feedback.
thank you Tiago for one more sharing
Is there any possibilities of sending meeting invite as email from traditional web app.??

Hi,
Great news! You can now create emails directly in your reactive application, without having to create a traditional application first. To enable the reactive email feature, you'll need to first opt-in to the technical preview.
