Sending emails to users without exposing sensitive information (without using api)

Need help Database

Hello,
Probably a simple question but wasn’t sure how to go about it best. Basically when a user completes an action I want the system to send them an email and also send another user an email as well.

How can I set up a privacy rule to allow this?

I know I can do it through backend and ignore privacy rules etc much like this post explains… Privacy rules and sending emails

But to be honest I’ve already set up a bunch of different workflows and being able to do this via a change of privacy rules will be way easier for me. Thanks in advance!

This doesn’t have to do with Privacy rules as you just need to create two actions, each for send email and then send emails to the users you want the emails to go to.

If by chance you have a privacy rule on the user data type and that privacy rule hides their email address, then just use backend workflows.

What other data is involved with the send emails that are part of the email content that is hidden by privacy rules as well as what fields on user data type are hidden by privacy rules and how are the two users connected via the data that is also part of this setup and used in the emails?

This is my first time building an app like this so my understanding of what should and shouldn’t be shared with a user is limited, but I imagine we definitely dont want users seeing each others emails without permission so yeah I’ve got the email of each user hidden by privacy rules.

I suppose ill have to suck it up and get the backend workflows going then. Thank you for the help!
