Attaching Excel or any other file

Open engti opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

Hey Bart,

Thanks a lot for the schedulR. It's been most useful, saves us a lot of time and allows us to do a lot of new things.

One thing we were wondering about was, how do we attach excel files to the mailer?

I'm guessing I could use sendmailr in the tasks and schedule that, but is there any other built in way?

Thanks,

Robin

This is not possible at the moment, it should however be very easy to implement.

I'm thinking along the lines of building in an optional functionality to collect all generated files and mail them to a specified address(es). If only e.g. an excel file is generated, the excel file will be sent. What do you think?

I think that would be an excellent feature because sometimes we just want to schedule a data dump. We already schedule reports, so having the ability to schedule excel files or any other files would make this much more flexible platform.

Thanks a bunch for your response.
