# Email Channel

### Overview

Email is now a channel on LimeChat's Outbound platform, alongside WhatsApp and SMS. You can send **Email Broadcasts** and add **Email nodes** to **Automation Flows**, using either a saved template or a simple text editor — the same builder you already use for WhatsApp and SMS.
