Send email JavaScript SharePoint 2013

Question

Is it possible to send an email in PreSaveAction function using JavaScript?

I tried this example. But it is not working.

Or is there a way to include the Email address provided in the NewForm to be added in the Workflow SendEmail?

UPDATE

I'm using SharePoint 2013 Online. And below is the code:

function sendEmail(from, to, body, subject) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('https://url'));
alert(appweburl);
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('https://url/'));
var urlTemplate = appweburl + "/_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) {
       console.log('success')
    },
    error: function (err) {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
    }
});
}

Is email configured properly on your server? Can you post the code you tried so far? — Amal Hashim, Apr 10 '15 at 16:51

In your custom list you can add a field to capture Email. Then inside the workflow you can sent email to CurrentItem:Email

I'm getting the Email from the People picker field under the PreSaveAction function. How to add it to the list? – Keerthi Apr 10 '15 at 16:59
I am confused. Isn't the field available in the new form? – Amal Hashim Apr 10 '15 at 17:00
The new form has a people picker field. From which I am getting the Email address under the PreSaveAction function. There is no actual field for Email address. – Keerthi Apr 10 '15 at 17:02

Ok then why can't you add a new field for selecting people? Then in the workflow Sent Email to CurrentItem:UserField - Choose to return email – Amal Hashim Apr 10 '15 at 17:05
Super cool. I didn't know it was this simple. – Keerthi Apr 10 '15 at 17:24
Is it possible to start a workflow at a specified time? – Keerthi Apr 10 '15 at 17:26
