That would most likely require some custom coding, email in seblod is sent on saving of the form. You could create save button with label send email, but email would also get sent when you would save&close the form, so you would still need some custom code to check if email has been sent already.

Hi,

Thanks Klas!

@jimenaes, a solution is to add a checkbox button "Send email", use the code plugin to send an email after store if checkbox is checked.

Hi, thank Klas and Bes. I do have the code plugin but I don't know how to use it to trigger the email field with all its settings, could you give me some clues?

We first need to figure out what exactly you want, if having a button to send email after save (e.g. radio field with yes/no) is enough, then you can also use conditionals to enable/disable email field

Thank Klas, I tried that but somehow it dosen't works. I have a checkbox field with two options. I set the conditional to the email field: this field is enabled if checkbox field is filled with option 2. But de emails is not sent.
 What I'am doing wrong?

there can be many reasons for this, first try if email is actually sent without any condition. If it works without condition, check if conditional changes disabled state. isFilled is not right conditional for checkbox, it only works with text fields, you need to use isEqual
