Send internal email

The Send internal email action sends an email from flow@shopify.com. If you have trouble receiving emails from Flow, then verify that your email isn't filtering out emails from this address.

Because variables can't be used to customize the address an email is sent to, the Send internal email action is best used to send emails to staff. To automate emails to customers, use Marketing automations.
