When selecting attachments for an Automation Workflow, we should have the option to include all the attachments in the notification email instead of sending only the last attachment if it was attached after the last save of the sheet.

Hi,
We use sheet automated workflows to send our Account Mangers information when a project is closing. We include attachments as part of the information they receive. This can be 1 or more attachments that need to go to this group. Currently we have an automation that triggers to send this information to them, however it will only send 1 attachment when there are multiple. In addition, if you try to re-trigger the automation on the row, it will not add the attachment to the notification email. Currently the work around is to instruct the user to click on the row number in the Email to download or view all attachments.
Can an enhancement be put in place that will send all attachments in these notifications each time it is triggered. - Thanks!
Hi, I hope you're well and safe! Great idea! As a workaround in the meantime.
- If you use an Update Request, it will always include links to all attachments. I hope that helps! Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

@Andrée Starå even when using update request and selecting that message include attachments, no attachments come through the emailed update request which is what we are all saying here including the original poster that says they are using update request but no attachments come through.
I agree with others.
I also vote for better attachment capabilities.
I'd like to be able to send just the attachment without sheet links in an alert. (Your request is completed, attached is what you need.)
Hi @Emily Anne Fink, @Sebastien,
Agree that this feature is much needed. The idea has been on the Smartsheet development team ‘Radar’ for over two years. And was posted a year before that. We can only hope that 180 up-votes count for something, and we get some feedback on it soon.
I'd love this as well, emails should include the attachments too so that users can simply review without going into smartsheets.
The integration with DocuSign is a huge value-add! But once the Document is signed, we often need to send it to stakeholders that arent the sender or the signer. I created a workaround solution using automation (alert someone) but there are two problems: 1) the automation customization provides optionality to include the entire sheet, the entire. sheet with specific fields, or message only. But does not allow me to ONLY send specific fields. This means I have to send a link to my entire sheet. Even though the customer receiving the email does not have access to my sheet, its not a customer -friendly way to send this info. Which brings me to #2) the email looks terrible! I mean, deal-breaking bad.
Smartsheets already has the ability to manually send these attachments, and that email looks great! Why can't we enable that same functionality to be applied to automations. It seems to me that automating external communication in specific formats must be a very common need
I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
I am proposing bringing a bit of pizzazz to Smartsheet by having celebratory animations for certain criteria. Think Joyful Animations in Outlook! My team was hoping to have some sort of confetti pop/gif/image when we close out a project or hit a milestone. Bonus points if it is configurable like the automations are.
