Is it possible to send emails via the n/email module to email addresses that do not belong to a netsuite user?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, it is possible to send emails via the

n/email

module to email addresses that do not belong to a NetSuite user. However, the sender (author) of the email must be an employee record in NetSuite. This is a requirement of the

n/email

module. If you want to send an email from a non-employee email address, such as a system or no-reply email, you can create a dummy employee record with that email address and use it as the sender. This is a common practice and it doesn't require the email address to be real. Here is a sample code snippet for sending an email using the

n/email

module:

javascript
var email = require('N/email');

email.send({
    author: 123, // internal id of the employee record
    recipients: '<mailto:example@example.com|example@example.com>',
    subject: 'Test Email',
    body: 'Hello, this is a test email.'
});

In this example,

123

is the internal ID of the dummy employee record. The

recipients

field can be any valid email address, not necessarily linked to a NetSuite user. Please note that the

author

field is mandatory and must be a valid internal ID of an employee record in NetSuite. If you try to send an email without specifying an author, or with an author that is not an employee, the operation will fail. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
