### Learning platform

Studio Web

### Description

I was going through the ‘Build a conversational agent with Autopilot’ explanation video from Build your first agent with studio web module.  
Link: [https://academy.uipath.com/courses/build-your-first-agent-with-uipath-studio-web](https://academy.uipath.com/courses/build-your-first-agent-with-uipath-studio-web)

So the video explains about Send Email activity generated using API workflow.  
API workflow is a new concept and never explained before. The explanation in the video is not enough to understand and create one. And i’m stuck with the task.

Think of the API workflow as the agent’s reusable email tool. It receives data, sends the email through a connector and returns a result.

For this exercise, create an API workflow with recipient, subject and body as string inputs. Add your mail connector’s Send Email activity, select the connection and map those inputs. Add a Response activity returning a simple success result after the send succeeds. Test it independently using your own address, then publish/deploy it and select it as an agent tool. Describe when the agent should use it and what each input means. Which of those steps is blocking you?
