Send automated emails using n8n.io
You will need
1 Terminal (ex- Git Bash)
2 Email ID
Step-By-Step Guide
Step 1: Install n8n using npm or npx
Install n8n locally on our system, use the below command.npm install n8n -g
Alternative, If we just want to use n8n without downloading to a local machine, can use this commandnpx n8n
In this guide, we will work you through using npx.
Step 2: Copy the URL and paste it in the address bar
After pasting http://localhost:5678/ in the address bar, we will get the n8n workflow page.

Step 3: Select the send email node
Go to the + and in the search box type send email then select it. After selecting the send email node, the below window will pop up.
Note: Before putting the mail address in from email make sure that you have the correct and that email account on a service with SMTP support.
If we have a simple email account but in this case, we can also register our email account for SMTP service support by using some SMTP service provider's example elastic email.
Step 4: Create SMTP credentials
Go to Elastic-Email website and create SMTP credentials for your email. After creating, make sure to copy your password.
Now, we are ready to put all the required details for executing our send email node.
Step 5: Put all the details for sending the mail from the send email node
Click on SMTP credential and select the pencil icon and put all the details from the Elasic-Email SMTP details.
Note: In from email put only that email which you have provided for SMTP service.
