whmcs Sending e-mails from WHMCS

[cry4pizza]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask if it is possible to send an email from WHMCS to an external email address. I know that there are these two options from the API:

https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/sendadminemail/

https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/sendemail/

But these don't look like I can enter an external e-mail address.

 

My use case is that if a request to an external API fails, I want to send an email with more information about the error and what data it tried to send to the API.

Or do SendAdminEmail and SendMail each send an email to the address specified in WHMCS under: General Settings => Mail => System Emails From Email?

I have tryed it with the SendAdminEmail action but the email doesent sent out to my local maildev (SMTP configuration works, i tested it). But if i debug the result of the mail, it says: "success". The department ID is also correct. As `type` i use: `system`.  I also created an E-Mail template with: ${custommessage} and ${customsubject}

E-Mail notifications are also enabled in the Full Administrator role settings.

Or does this really ONLY work with admin email templates? Because I can't create them at all.

Tbh IMO it doesent makes sense that SendAdminEmail only supports AdminEmail templates. But the bigger question for me is, why cant i just create my own Admin Email templates? It just dont make any sense..
