Email chosen contacts or the registrants of an event, now or scheduled.

Wild Apricot MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/wild-apricot.md

MCP tool: `wild_apricot_write → send_email`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Composes a plain email under Communication > Email. Give contact_ids, or event_id (with checked_in_only for the attendees). Wild Apricot sends one email per unique address and hides other recipients. Attachments are not possible; put a link in the body. Sent now, it waits in Wild Apricot's queue for a few minutes to a few hours. schedule_at uses your organization's timezone. Needs a full administrator, membership manager, events manager or donations manager. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `subject` | string | yes | Subject line. |
| `body` | string | yes | Plain text of the message. Links are allowed. |
| `contact_ids` | array | no | Contact IDs to email, from list_contacts or list_event_registrants. |
| `event_id` | integer | no | Email the registrants of this event, from list_events. |
| `checked_in_only` | boolean | no | With event_id, only registrants who were checked in. Default: false. |
| `schedule_at` | datetime | no | Deliver later, in your organization's timezone. Omit to send now. |
