🚧
Do not store SMTP settings in the liquid tag
Instead use the site metafields to store them.

{% action "send an email like a boss" %}
	var emailSettings = getProp('site').metafields.email_settings;

	sendEmail({
    to:                   '[email protected]',
    from:                 emailSettings.from,
    subject:              emailSettings.subject,
    page_handle:          'email-template',
    attachments:          { 'invitation.pdf': 'http://randomkittenpicture.png' },
    smtp: {
      address:          emailSettings.smtp_address,
      port:             emailSettings.smtp_port,
      user_name:        emailSettings.smtp_user_name,
      password:         emailSettings.smtp_password,
      authentication:   'plain',
      enable_starttls_auto: true
    }
  });
