Sending email via email client without enabling the email client to the table. is it possible?

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if its possible to use email client on sc_task table without enabling the email client on the sc_task table?

I just want to use that functionality on a specific catalog item only so i'm thinking of using a rich text field read only to have a link to the email client.

I can see we can enable email client on a table with the instructions on the link below.

Thanks

Update: i made it work in my PDI. It seems to be send-ready on the email logs. Wonder if there are best practice implication for this?

No you can't. It's a global function you can activate per table. If you want to use it, you can use it on all. 

You could use your custom field to trigger a notification with that as body, but it won't give you other fields.
