  • Hi @J Tech

    There isn't a way to include attachments with message only alerts. To include attachments, you would need to allow the alert to send out the attachment "field":

    See: Customize the content of your alerts and requests

    Keep in mind that attachments will only be sent with a notification if it's added at the same time as the trigger (or if it is the trigger). The article above has more information on this.

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

    Hi @J Tech

    I hope you're well and safe!

    To add to Genevieve's excellent advice/answer.

    Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

    • Use an Update Request instead because then all the attachments are included.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
