system.net.sendEmail with optional attachment

In this case, how do I write the [attachmentNames] and [attachmentData] arguments in the function?

Thank you for your help.

Ignition Edge sends emails but no attachments

This works for me, albeit I didn’t test on Edge; filePath = system.file.openFile() if filePath != None: # This gets the filename without the C:\folder stuff fileName = filePath.split("\\")[-1] fileData = system.file.readFileAsBytes(filePath) smtp_server = "test" sender = "test" subject_mail = "Here is the file you requested" body_mail = "Hello, this is an email." recipients = ["test"] system.net.sendEmail( smtpProfile = smtp_server, fromAddr = sender, sub…

Thanks for your reply, and without attachments with the same code is it ok?

If you have no attachments you can use simpler code;

# This code would send a simple plain-text email to a single recipient, with no attachments
body = "Hello, this is an email."
recipients = ["bobsmith@mycompany.com"]
system.net.sendEmail("mail.mycompany.com",
 "myemail@mycompany.com", "Here is the email!", body, 0, recipients)

That code only executes if there is a valid filepath, so there has to be an attachment.
