Send catalog item attachments via email using Flow Designer

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to send attachments submitted with a catalog item to an email address using an action in Flow Designer? The 'Send Email' action doesn't seem to let me attach the files I retrieved with 'Get Attachments on Record.'

 

Any tips on how I can make this work?

Thanks, Max

In this video we are solving a community question. They have created a flow that sends an email and now they need to add the attachment from the task that triggered the flow to the mail being sent. You can find the question here: ...

Thanks Eshwar, this is absolutely brilliant.  It works a treat and it copies all attachments.  I am surprised the copy attachment action OOB does not have the ability to attach attachments to emails.

Depending on your use case, you might be able to use the "Include attachments" option on the Notification itself?

It is available on the "Advanced view".

Thanks Jim, however I could not get it to work via notifications.
