Afterpattern apps can automatically send emails when the end-user reaches a particular Page Block. Emails can include attachments of documents assembled by your app (you can also attach files uploaded by the end-user).
All emails are sent from no-reply@send.afterpattern.com. However, when the addressee(s) receive your email, the name displayed to them as the sender will be your Afterpattern username.
While your app is in Test Mode, all emails are sent to the email address associated with your Afterpattern account.
