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
Leaving my comment with the same hopes. I would love this function for sending out QR codes that presenters use for checking students in. I pull all QR codes at the beginning of a semester, but don't send QR codes out until the day of a workshop. I'd love to be able to automate this process. If workshop date = Today's date, send attachments to presenter.
It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to manually assign colors to individual projects within the Timeline View. Currently, project colors are automatically determined by the Dashboard Theme, which limits flexibility and makes it challenging to visually differentiate projects in a meaningful way. Allowing…
It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
As the smartsheet admin for Europe, it would be extremely helpful to be able to view all Automations / recurring emailed reports in one place as opposed to sheet level. It's almost impossible to ensure everything is working correctly / delete recurring emailed reports without this.
