How to send an actual attachment and NOT the link to the attachment
Is there a way to send an attachment to someone in the Contact cell and not the link to the attachment? I don't want to share the sheet with the resources as it has confidential information. When I do the workflow, it sends a link and the user gets an error that they don't have permission since they aren't shared.

Hi @Lori Hight
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- It will always be a link, but you don't have to share access to the sheet for them to access the attachment.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

If you don't want them to see the whole sheet then you might want to look at using the Dynamic View add on. I think that would help.

Thank you - Dynamic View is not helpful in what I am looking for. I want to use Document Builder to create a pretty PDF that scores their survey and sends them the PDF. I have implemented with a Python script but it would be great if Smartsheet were to solve for this.

@Lori Hight Can you share the Python script you wrote? My script is returning all attachments in the sheet and the link is expiring before I can use it in a Zapier connection.

this is a no brainer request - very disappointing to not have support for it.
