Deliver every run to an inbox

Chief: Sending results by email — Deliver every run to an inbox
Email is the way Actions deliver results to people. When you turn it on, Chief emails the run’s output to your recipients each time the Action completes.
  1. In the create or edit dialog, check Send email when action completes. The email settings box appears.
  2. In the Recipients box, type each email address and press Enter. Use Add all to add everyone in the Project at once, or Remove all to clear the list. You can add up to 10 recipients.
  3. In the Email subject field, type the subject line. To include each run’s title, insert the token {{Action Result Title}} — click the suggested code chip to copy it.
  4. Optionally check Add the date and time in the subject line so each email’s subject is unique.
⚠️ Important: If Send email when action completes is checked, you must add at least one recipient. Otherwise saving is blocked with “At least one email recipient is required.”
✅ Tip: Adding the date and time to the subject keeps recurring emails from collapsing into one thread in your inbox, so each run stands on its own.
