Usage
This activity is typically used to send Emails during the execution of a workflow. Sending is always asynchronous, so this activity will not block the execution of the workflow.
Example
Send an EMail with the number of MetaClasses that derive (direct and indirect) from the MetaClass of a given object. Use a (fictional) Gmail account.
