Re: Adding Additional Attachments to Email

Hi Ricky,

Yes, you can just make the File element blank (in the data connection wizard for email) and it will not send an attachment. You can then send a link to the XML so that users can open it from a central server. Or, no link, if you are just sending the XML view to the email recipients.
There is no easy way to add attachments. I recommend adding links to email and having the attachment links be determined based on your decision tree.

A very small amount of code may be needed to add the attachments. Qdabra can write that for you next week if you purchase a Support Incident. See Qdabra.com: http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/Support.aspx

Cheers!

Adding Additional Attachments to Email

ExpediaGuy — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:47:02 GMT

Hello,

I currently have a decision tree program that depending on the combination of answers the customer gives, a document shows up on the form for them to download. What I want to happen is to have a dialog box pop up that will tell them the name of the document and that an email will be sent to them with the document. My 2 questions are:

1) Is there a way to remove the Infopath form from the email? I don't want it as an attachment or in the email.

2) Is there a way to attach additional attachments to the email that is sent out?

I am pretty raw on coding (Did a little VB about 3 years ago) but I know this will take some. Any help would be great! Thanks!
