Dear All,
I am using Outsystems 11 and i have a requirement to send mail with attachment in it.
I could find many helps in the forums like:
https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/36219/sending-mail-with-attachment/
As suggested ,
In the preparation of the email screen, use the "AttachFileToEmail" control
then add the filename parameter and file content which is the binary data, mostly this data are in your database then the Mime-Type which is the file type like "application/pdf"
I couldn't find the "Attach file" option or control from my dependencies or in the tool bar.
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regards,
Neha George
Not sure what you are missing.Just checked and it;s available for me . Add a new email. Add preparation to it. Open preparation and attach file should be available in the left pane.

Can you guide me how can i get the ''File Content'' .
I need to fetch details from an entity ,lets say "InsuranceDetails" based on the input parameter in a web block or a web screen and convert into pdf and attach in the mail.
Thank You,
Neha
You'll have to use something like this (https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/209/html2pdfconverter ) to generate a PDF from entity data . And then attach this to the email.
A small update I am using Traditional Web Application
Neha, there are two ways you can send email
1. Using the SendEmail component from left panel in any action, but this does not have any option to add attachment.
2. Adding an email to a UI flow like you add screen or a web block. This option like screens or web blocks allows to add preparation action, inside which you get an AttachFile option in left pane.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
