From Teammate*: Click the down arrow to select from a list of users who have synced their email account with the Lawcus application. The first option, Me, allows you to select yourself as the sender.

Recipient: Click the down arrow to select a recipient from a list of synced email users or click the Use a Custom Value (advanced) option.

Use a Custom Value (advanced): If you select this option you will be prompted to select recipient values from the trigger record or from the record referenced by the previous step if this is not the first step.

Use Matter value from trigger: Click the down arrow to view a list of available fields from the Matter record referenced by the trigger. In our example, the workflow is applied manually, so the values will originate from the matter on which the workflow was applied.

Use Client value from step 2: Click the down arrow to view a list of available fields from the record referenced in step 2 of this workflow. In our example, step 2 searches for client data.

Add Recipient (CC and BCC): Click one of the three "add" recipient links to include additional recipients on this email message. The same options can be used to specify an additional recipient.

Attachments: Click the + icon to select a document created by a previous step in the workflow.
