Email Activity is in another Nuget package. You first need to add the related package to your project:

dotnet add package Elsa.Activities.Email

Then, you need to add AddEmailActivities(...) in your main program:

var elsaSection = builder.Configuration.GetSection("Elsa");
builder.Services
   .AddElsa(elsa => elsa
      ...
      .AddEmailActivities(elsaSection.GetSection("Smtp").Bind)        
      ...
   )
   .AddAuthorization();

The Smtp config. need smtp host, port and default sender defined:

"Smtp": {
     "Host": "xxx.xxx.xxx",
     "Port": "443",
     "DefaultSender": "[email protected]"
}
