# How To: Sending Generated Documents via Email

Once documents are generated using the **Generate Documents (S-Docs)** Lightning Web Component, they are automatically listed in the **Documents (S-Docs)** component on the record page. From this component, users can select one or multiple generated documents and send them together in a single email.

### Sending Documents Using an Email Template

The **Documents (S-Docs)** LWC allows you to predefine an email/HTML template that will be used when sending documents.

To use a specific email template:

* Specify the **Email Template Name** in the component configuration (as shown in the screenshot below).
* The template must be an **HTML Email Template** available for the object.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Considerations:**

* Only **one** email/HTML template can be configured per component.
* Multiple email templates cannot be used simultaneously.
* The configured template will automatically load when sending documents from the component.
  {% endhint %}

### Sending Documents Without a Predefined Template

Configuring an email template is optional.

If no email template is specified, select the “No Template” option.

* The email editor will still open when you send documents.
* You can manually customize the email at the time of sending.
* This provides flexibility for users who need to customize emails on a case-by-case basis.

### Automatically Opening the Email Editor After Document Generation

When generating documents using the **Templates to Generate (S-Docs)** LWC, you can configure the system to automatically open the email editor immediately after document generation.

To enable this behavior:

* Check the **Automatically Open Email Editor option** within the **Documents** component.

This allows users to:

* Generate documents
* Immediately attach them to an email
* Send the email without navigating away from the record page
