# EMAILWRITER endpoint

> [!WARNING]
> The **Email Writer** endpoint replaces the **SMTP Writer** endpoint.

In Business Integration Solutions, use the EMAILWRITER endpoint to write email messages to configured recipients.

## Usage

Use this endpoint to send messages using the built-in mail capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

## Concept

To relay messages via email, add at least one email account.

This endpoint works best with the following activities:

- **XML To HTML Translator** activity: provides messages in HTML or plain text format.
- **Attachment Generator** activity: attaches standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central reports in PDF, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Excel formats.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Email accounts must be configured before testing or demoing notifications.
