Action to send attachment or link to attachment

[l1z4a]

I have the need to send an attachment to another system when a form is submitted or else send a download link to an attachment when the form is submitted. Is there a way to do that directly in Budibase? If not could someone point me to documentation on how I can create a custom automation action to get attachments out of Budibase?

@mayanktiwaridotcom please stop spamming.

This isn't scheduled on the immediate roadmap, so I can't give you a timeline. We are always happy to accept PRs or you can fork in the meantime if this is something you desperately need.

Thanks

@shogunpurple Sorry to bother, but Actually I found lot of posts facing same issue so just to highlight and keep the thread active I commented on All of them.

I am not familiar with the framework which is used thus not able to help much :(

Automation can do it

On row updated -> query row (filter on row id) -> send email with HTML contents:

<a href="http://localhost:10000{{steps.1.rows.0.attachment.0.url}}">Download link</a>

(change localhost to your server name and port)
