Attach pdf files dynamically to a email context with HTML coding

Hi,

I am wondering if I can attach pdf files dynamically to an email context with HTML coding. Say, I have the pdf file names and paths in the data file for each record as following:

\fileapp3.saskatoon.ca\Archive Bill Images\UtilityBillingTest\UBP\2016\11\UBP-Nov 17 2016-Innovative Residential Inc-102968032-174599730.pdf.

“[\fileapp3.saskatoon.ca\Archive Bill Images\UtilityBillingTest\UBP\2016\11](file://\fileapp3.saskatoon.ca\Archive Bill Images\UtilityBillingTest\UBP\2016\11)” is the network path while “UBP-Nov 17 2016-Innovative Residential Inc-102968032-174599730.pdf” is the pdf file name.

Could we add a hyperlink in the email context template and send the email along with the attachment to the customer like we do with ASP.Net coding?

This way the customer could just click the hyperlink to view the content of the attachment when he /she receives the email.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

To attach dynamic PDFs to your email context, refer to this page in the user guide:

As for your question on hyperlinks in the email:

You can add a hyperlink to your email context (<a href=“”> tag) that functions like a regular hyperlink. However, you would need a service that’s listening for that request and returns the requested file. You could accomplish something like this with a workflow process.
