# Send an email — Gmail

Botize method — `gmail.send` (action).

Sends an email using Gmail.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `mb_switch` *(boolean)* — Rules
- `from` *(string)* — From
- `from_alias` *(string)* — From Alias
- `to` *(string)* — To
- `cc` *(string)* — CC
- `bcc` *(string)* — BCC
- `subject` *(string)* — Subject
- `body` *(string)* — Message
- `file_url` *(string)* — URL of the file to attach

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `mb_filters_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{_status}}` *(text)* — _status
