Send Email with SP.ClientContent

Question

Is it possible to send email using SP.ClientContext. Im aware of the limitations of send email in Javascript, but my understanding is that this calls the back end. All i see related to CSOM is c# code.

If you want to send an email using CSOM (js) you can use this:

function sendEmail(from, to, body, subject) {

    var siteurl = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl;

    var urlTemplate = siteurl + "/_api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail";
    $.ajax({
        contentType: 'application/json',
        url: urlTemplate,
        type: "POST",
        data: JSON.stringify({
            'properties': {
                '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Utilities.EmailProperties' },
                'From': from,
                'To': { 'results': [to] },
                'Body': body,
                'Subject': subject
            }
        }
      ),
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
        },
        success: function (data) {
           alert("Eposten ble sendt");
        },
        error: function (err) {
            alert(err.responseText);
            debugger;
        }
    });
}

Just note that the recipient is limited to a valid SharePoint user for security reasons.
