# Send Email from Service Suite

Use this article when a Service Suite workflow needs to send email through an approved mail provider or internal SMTP path.

## What changed in this article

- Updated the email article around approved Service Suite email workflows and mail-provider controls.
- Added checks for SMTP/API endpoint, authentication, sender ownership, recipient controls, TLS, rate limits, retry behavior, and audit logging.
- Added guidance to avoid hard-coded passwords, personal mailboxes, and sensitive test data in email content.

## Validation workflow

1. Confirm the approved mail provider, sender identity, recipient list, and allowed test data before sending email.
2. Validate authentication, TLS, request payload, response status, and retry/error behavior in a controlled run.
3. Review logs and received messages without exposing passwords, tokens, or sensitive customer data.

**Review note:** This page now treats email sending as an integration with data-transmission risk controls.
