I have a devx report, that I store in a table named email_attachment.

I would like to use the email connector to send an email with the pdf as attachement.

How do I do that, when on a azure server?

Hi Mike,

The email connector works using a storage provider. This means that you have to first write the attachment to blob storage, and then you can use it (e.g. attach it) in the email connector.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Tim

Hoi Tim,

 

Dank, maakt het nog iets uit of dat een Azure Block Blob of een Azure Files is?

(ik kan dus niet de bestaande database files storage location gebruiken)

 

 

alvast dank,

groet, Mike

Hi Mike, 

Correct. The database storage won't work.

You can use both, but we would recommend the blob storage.

Kind regards,
