How to use smtp and send email from alfresco

cmsbeginner

Hi 

I have been trying to configure alfresco to send email to users on some select updates. 

I follow this documenation https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/5.2/config/email/ 

and added the configuration for a test gmail account to test smtp but how will the system send email. Is there a code sample i can follow? Please advise

You can send email 2 ways.

1)Using  Javascript
