Send custom attachments via email to external recepient

[Egil Kjørstad]

Hi, I have a Scoped Application where I use Script Include to create some custom attachments.
The attachments are to be sent via email to an external email recipient.
I tested the GlideEmailOutbound API for this purpose, but I have come to understand that this is not the way to go since it is not possible to set a SendTo parameter, and the API cannot handle attachments either.

Please advice a proper solution for this.

What is the functionality on this? Are you creating attachments on records (attachments suggest they are attached to something).

You could just utilize normal notifications and add the 'include attachments' to it, if they are attached to a record. You can use flows/events to trigger the notifications and do with it what you want.

In Script Include I create custom CSV files for each subsdiary in our company.
For each CSV file, I create a record in an export table. I then attach the CSV file to the export record.
Next, I want to create an email and attach all the new CSV files to the mail, and send i to an e-mailrecepient.

I tried to work this out with a flow:
The trigger is ok, and I can find all the attachments that I want to include, but I can't figure out how to put it all together in a mail.

You can create a normal email notification on your table and set the 'Send when' to 'triggered' and add the things you need (to whom to send, body etc). Also tick the 'include attachments' box.

In your flow you pick the 'send notification' action instead of the 'send email' action and you drag your trigger record into the 'record field' and select your notification. It will now send out the email, including the attachments.

Thanks so far 😉
I still miss a few steps though ...
The receiver of the mail is dynamic, and comes from the Epost (Email) field, exposed in the field-list under "What it will contain". How can I get that right?
