You may set up a controller that does the job.
Render the output inside your actions by yourself like this:

$output = $this->view->render();
yourmailserviceormethodorwhatever->send($output);
$this->redirect('someaction', 'anothercontroller');

Another option is to create a Service that allows you to execute fluid 
templates. Have a look at this wiki page for this approach:
