Let's look at a business scenario. Sara Bareilles, who is working on the Flow Displaying feedback form based on age, received a new requirement to send a thank you e-mail to participants on their successful completion of a survey. To implement this, follow these instructions:

1. Click on the Resource tab and add Text Template to create an e-mail template. Enter Unique Name as EmailTemplate and create an e-mail template, as shown in the following screenshot. You can also use an HTML tag here:
   
2. Once you are done, click on the OK button.
3. Now we will use the Send Email static action to send out an e-mail to participants. Click on the Palette tab and drag and drop the Send Email static action onto the canvas; this will open a new window, where you have to enter the following details:
   • Name: Enter the Name field for the Send Email element. In this case, enter Thank you email as Name.
   • Unique Name: This will be autopopulated based on the name.
   • Inputs: Enter text in Body for the e-mail. In this case, use Text Template that we created in previous steps. For Subject, enter Thank you for completing our survey!. For Email Addresses (comma-separated), select {!Email_Address} screen input fields. If you want to use an organization-wide e-mail address instead of a current user's e-mail address to send an e-mail, add Sender Type as OrgWideEmailAddress and Sender Address as the organization-wide e-mail address that is used to send the e-mails. If you are using organization-wide email addresses to send out an e-mail, you have to enter the organization-wide e-mail address in Sender Address. 

 This is shown in the following screenshot:

4. Once you are done, click on the OK button.

5. Use the connector to connect the Record Create element and the Send Email static action with the rest of the Flow, as shown in the following screenshot:
   
   
6. Save your Flow and close the Flow Designer using the Close button; this will redirect you to the Flow Detail page. Don't activate the Flow now; as a system administrator, you can test it without activating it.
7. To test this Flow, click on the Run button and enter the date 1/29/1984. Then, click on the Next button, fill in all the details and check your e-mail inbox (remember, you have to enter your e-mail address on the survey page). You should receive an e-mail that looks similar to what is shown in the following screenshot:
   
   

8. Navigate to the Survey tab and check the record created by the Flow:

In Chapter 4, Debugging and New Ways to Call a Flow, you will learn the ways to expose this Flow for unauthenticated access using the Force.com site and the Visualforce page.
