Hello there,

How can I send an email with attachments from onedrive folder?

Lets say I have 4 files under a specific folder.

I want to tell zapier to find that folder - i know how to do that

Then send all files found under that folder on onedrive as attachments - NOT LINK - on email

Hi @Castorcontracting 

What app is being used to send the email?

If Outlook, there is only 1 Attachment field when sending an email.

So you’d have to ZIP multiple files.


@Troy Tessalone - its Gmail

Is there a chance I can send separate attachments?


@Castorcontracting 

Yes, Gmail can send multiple attachments.

Be aware of file size limits.

 

 


@Troy Tessalone Ok how do I pull the attachments from onedrive folder? I would have more than one file in that specif folder


@Castorcontracting 

Try using multiple OneDrive Find File steps.

 


@Troy Tessalone 

Every different file would have different number of files - different names - its extremely hard to find one file at a time then attach them..

Is there an easier way were I can upload all files in onedrive folder as attachments in gmail??


@Castorcontracting 

Why not include a link to the Folder in the body of the email instead of using attachments?


@Troy Tessalone The company does not accept links. Won’t open.

The find folder or file doesn’t seem to be doing the trick as its challenging. 

What else I can do? Where can I Store the files where zapier can pull them into an attachment on gmail later?


@Castorcontracting  Since you have a varying # of files in folders, you’ll need to first ZIP the files to then send as 1 attachment.


@Troy Tessalone how do I zip all files under a folder?


@Castorcontracting 

Here’s a help article about how to un/zip files: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/zip-and-unzip-files-8d28fa72-f2f9-712f-67df-f80cf89fd4e5


@Troy Tessalone but I need to automate this - is zapier capable of zipping the folder?


@Castorcontracting 

Not that I’m aware of with the OneDrive Zap app integration options.


@Troy Tessalone ok so how do I do this? I need this whole process automated

 

I receive signed attachments from signnow - once all documents are signed - an invoice is created

I managed to get all that going with zapier.

Im stuck at how do I bundle all these and email them to the accountant. they do not accept onedrive links.

and I can’t do that manually.
