Attaching Files to Email Templates
You can attach any type of document, such as welcome letters, terms and conditions, etc., and any file type to email templates using the Attach File feature. When you attach one or more files using this method, the email will contain the PDF file created from the Report Selection in the template as well as all files attached separately. The composition of the attached files can be different for each email template line, so you can vary them to the specific requirements of the situation.
Including attachments from source documents
If you want to include attachments from source documents from Business Central in an email template, you need to enable the appropriate attachment options for that email template, and here's how you do that:
- Choose the icon, enter Email Templates, and then choose the related link.
- Select the email template for which you want to include attachments from source documents.
- In the Email Template Lines FastTab, under Mail Attachments, enable the needed options.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each template for which you want to include attachments from source documents.
Attaching files to email templates
To attach one or more files to an email template, follow these steps:
- Choose the icon, enter Email Templates, and then choose the related link.
- Select the email template to which you want to attach a file.
- In the action bar in the Email Template Lines FastTab, select Email Template > Edit HTML Template.
- In the Attachment FactBox, select the Attachment dropdown menu and then New.
- Select a file to attach it to this specific email template. You can only attach one file at a time, but you can repeat the process as many times as needed.
You can also view the full list of attachments, remove files, or download a list of the attached files.
Though you as such can attach any file type and files of any size, you're recommended to keep in mind that attaching very large files (because exchange servers have a limitation on file size) or certain file types (such as .exe files, as they are caught by firewalls) can result in rejected emails.
