Attaching file to the Mail

Hi,

Is it possible to attach a file from the public folder to the mail using the function,

BRApi.Utilities.SendMail(si, emailConnectionName, toEmailAddresses, subject, body, attachmentFilePaths)

Would appreciate any assistance.

Thank You.

    Hi Shivangi  Here's an extender sample to help get you started

    Namespace OneStream.BusinessRule.Extender.SendMail
    Public Class MainClass
        Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As ExtenderArgs) As Object
            Try
                Dim fileFullName As String = "EmailAttachment.png"
                Dim failGracefully As Boolean = True
                Dim includeContentFileBytes As Boolean = True
                Dim objXFFileEx As XFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, fileFullName, includeContentFileBytes, failGracefully)
                Dim fullNamePath As String = objXFFileEx.XFFile.FileInfo.FullName
                Dim attachmentFilePaths As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)() From {
                    fullNamePath
                }
                 Return Nothing
            Catch ex As Exception
                Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex))
            End Try
        End Function
    End Class
End Namespace

      Hi, Thank You for providing the snippet. I tried this way to attach my file, I was getting the File path as well but when I pass the filepath in the BRApi.Utilities.SendMail(...) function I was getting an error.

      Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\OneStream Software\OneStreamAppRoot\OneStreamApp\Documents\Public\File.csv

       
      Code:
      Dim failGracefully As Boolean = True
      Dim includeContentFileBytes As Boolean = True
      Dim objXFFileEx As XFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, "Documents\Public\File.csv", includeContentFileBytes, failGracefully)
      Dim fullNamePath As String = objXFFileEx.XFFile.FileInfo.FullName
      Dim attachmentFilePaths As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)() From {
                          fullNamePath
                      }
      BRApi.Utilities.SendMail(si, emailConnectionName, toEmail, subject, Msg, True, attachmentFilePaths)

        Hi Shivangi,

        Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I'm encountering the same issue.

        Thanks.
