Dynamically name attachments to emails

[duanehumphreys]

I'm currently sending attachments with email updates, which is working well. At the moment, though, the attachment name can only be set by static text - is it possible to somehow get the PDF attachment to have a dynamic name, i.e. include the ID of the new entry or similar? The note on Appsheet - 'The name given to the optional email attachment. (Template that yields text is supported. Leave empty for default attachment name.)' makes me think this may somehow be possible, but I've not managed to find a template that would allow it.

Yes, you can have a variable attachment name. Please take a look at the following help article. Section "Attachment Name"

https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/961729-sending-email-from-a-bot-workflow-rule-or-scheduled-rep...

Your attachment file name can take a format such as 

<<CONCATENATE( [Name],TEXT(NOW(),"HHMMSS"))>>  for example. 

You can even have a folder /sub folder structure defined on the fly to store attachments . Section "Attachment Folder Path" in the article below.
