If you want to export information to an email and then send it, I would highly recommend using Mailgun. They've made it really straight forward for developers to send emails via the API they've exposed. They have really great documentation in their Quick Start Guide to help developers integrate their service pretty effortlessly.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
