# Method name: emailMember(emailId: string, memberId: string, options: TriggeredEmailOptions)

# Method package: wixCrmBackend

# Method menu location: wixCrmBackend --> TriggeredEmails --> emailMember

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-crm-backend/triggered-emails/email-member.md

# Method Description:

Sends a triggered email to a site member.

The `emailMember()` function returns a Promise
that resolves when the triggered email is sent to the specified site member.

> **Note:**
> This function replaces the deprecated
> `wixUsersBackend.emailUser()`.
> The deprecated function will continue to work, but it will not receive updates.

 To learn more about triggered emails, see:

 - [About Triggered Emails](https://support.wix.com/en/article/about-triggered-emails)
 - [Creating a Triggered Email](https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-a-triggered-email)
 - [How to Send a Triggered Email to Members with Code](https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-send-a-triggered-email-to-members-with-code)

 Before using the `emailMember()` function, you need to set up at least 1
 triggered email.

 Specify which email to send by passing the email's ID in the `emailId` parameter.

 Specify which member the email is sent to by passing the member's ID in the `memberId`
 parameter.

 If the specified triggered email contains
 variables,
 you can pass values for those variables using the optional `options` parameter.
 You pass a `variables` object
 which contains the values to be inserted into your email in place of the variables
 defined in that email. The values passed must be strings. If `variables`
 does not contain a `key:value` pair for a
 variable in your triggered email, the fallback value defined when creating
 your triggered email is inserted in place of the variable.

 > __Notes:__
 > + The statistics for Triggered Emails are based on every time an email is sent,
 >   including test emails that you send to yourself.
 >   This is different from the 
 >   [statistics for Email Marketing](https://support.wix.com/en/article/viewing-your-email-marketing-statistics) 
 >   that are based on emails sent to unique contacts. Therefore, the statistics for Triggered 
 >   Emails may seem inflated compared to Email Marketing statistics.
 > + Triggered Emails generates a code snippet for each of your email
 >   templates. The generated code includes the email's ID and keys for all the
 >   email's variable names. You can copy and paste the snippet into your code.
 >   Then, you need to define values for the `memberId` property and for each
 >   variable key. To learn how to use the generated snippet in your code, see
 >   [How to Send a Triggered Email with Code](https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-send-a-triggered-email-with-code).



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Send a triggered email to a member

```javascript

import { triggeredEmails } from 'wix-crm-backend';

export const myEmailMemberFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => {
  const emailId = "thanks_for_joining";
  const memberId = "78ad23e2-fd34-5a14-9807-d8c2485d1f36";
  const options = {
    variables: {
      firstName: "Jane",
      lastName: "Member"
    }
  }

  return triggeredEmails.emailMember(emailId, memberId, options)
    .then(() => {
      console.log("Email was sent to member");
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});
