Send function output as an email in IBM cloud functions

Question

I have following code which gives me a csv file:

def main(args):
    data = get_data()
    csv_output = get_csv_file_data(data)
    return {'body': csv_output.getvalue(),
            'headers': {'Content-Type': 'text/csv',
            'Content-Disposition': 'attachment;filename=myfilename.csv'}}

Is there a way in IBM cloud that I can send this CSV file as an email within a function?

IBM Cloud does not provide an email service as part of its platform services (IBM Cloud cata), but you could use SendGrid, either directly SendGrid or through the classic infrastructure services on IBM Cloud.

This code sample, OpenWhisk Contact, uses SendGrid for sending out email with IBM Cloud Functions.

Can we use any email provider? Like Amazon SES with IBM Functions? – NoviceMe Jan 16 '19 at 20:40
You can use any email provider. The function / action would connect to the SMTP server and send out the email. – data_henrik Jan 17 '19 at 06:24
