Send email from bot framework FormFlow

Question

I have an example bot created using FormFlow:

public static IForm<SandwichOrder> BuildForm()
        {
            OnCompletionAsyncDelegate<SandwichOrder> processOrder = async (context, state) =>
            {
                await context.PostAsync("We are currently processing your sandwich. We will message you the status.");
            };

            return new FormBuilder<SandwichOrder>()
                        .Message("Welcome to the sandwich order bot!")
                        .Field(nameof(Sandwich))
                        .Field(nameof(Length))
                        .Field(nameof(Bread))
                        .Field(nameof(Cheese))
                        .AddRemainingFields()
                        .Message("Thanks for ordering a sandwich!")
                        .OnCompletion(processOrder)
                        .Build();
    }

On completion of form, the control comes at:

OnCompletionAsyncDelegate<SandwichOrder> processOrder = async (context, state) =>
                {
                    await context.PostAsync("We are currently processing your sandwich. We will message you the status.");
                };

I want to send an email to myself with all the form fields. How can I connect with SMTP and write an email function to send an email with all selected options and inputs from user?

This question is not related to Botframework, it's only "how to send an email from C#".

You have several options, like:

using SendGrid
using SMTPClient (have a look here for example: Send e-mail via SMTP using C#)
using Graph API if you use Office 365 accounts (or on premises but it depends on the configuration etc.)
using EWS (Exchange Web Services)
other ways...

The fields that you want to put in your email are contained in the state variable
