  • 1.  Send Multiple Files Attachments to 1 Email User

    Posted 9 days ago

    Hi guys,

    I have trouble when sending multiple files to Outlook email.

    In my case; I need to download multiple Excel reports in a day (probably 8 or 10 reports), then rename these files and send them to Outlook email.

    All the reports will be formatted as: "Report for [Current Day]_time when downloading report"

    I need to send all the Excel files that I have downloaded in a day to the Outlook email by the end of the day. How can I do that when my files are dynamic? Thank you!

    *I have use SEND EMAIL action with attachment is "Report for "&[Current Date]&"*" - but it doesnt work

    @Mia Mikela

    When using the send email action you will have to provide the complete path of the attachment without *

    Are you using the outlook VBO?

    Separate the file paths with a semi colon. Like

    C:\Downloads\File1.xlsx;C:\Downloads\File2.xlsx

    Thanks,

    Given my case, the downloaded reports are dynamic, and it's not constant. So if I list all the paths manually like you do, it may not work. 

    But thanks for recommending it.

    Hi @Mia Mikela, 

    Send Mail Action takes File path as absolute path meaning you to provide full path of a file/files. If it is multiple files - you have to append paths into single string. Below are the steps how you can do it. 

    As you are creating report on daily basis - I suggest you create a folder with current Date Stamp for that day and place all the report (8-10) over there. 

    To send all reports in a mail you have to create a single string with all file's paths. Here's how you do it: 

    1. As we already created a folder for everyday (using current day stamp) - we should do a get Files inside that folder so we can get all reports for that day. (You can give pattern as you like if you have a preference on only specific file to send)
    2. Once you got the collection of files - loop through each item and append FilePath(absolute path) to a variable (let's say allAttachmentPath) using ";"
    3. then if you add that string(allAttachmentPath) as a value in Attachment parameter of send Mail. It should send out all the files in a mail. 

    Do let me know if you face any issues performing.
