# Email

Appmixer offers a built-in component for sending emails from the platform.

![The default SendEmail component.](https://4257661311-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FkpyTqJi517UiwFJJRydZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-cb4597a5fb000a47177f7dcd989a9d44371a5b57%2Femail-1.png?alt=media)

The *SendEmail* component uses our Mandrill API KEY by default. It is recommended to change that to your own Mandrill API KEY if you want to keep using Mandrill as the email service provider. You can do that from the Backoffice. The service ID is *appmixer:utils:email* in this case. You can also change the default *from* email address which is set to *<no-reply@appmixer.com>*.

The *SendEmail* component is an example, how sending emails from Appmixer can be done. You can have your own mailing system which you would like to use or you would like to use a different third-party application. In such a case, you should remove the *SendEmail* component from the system and offer your users your own implementation.
