Hi, I have a customer that wants to send upon a form submission an email out of network to a vendor to translate documents not able to be done here.
Problem is I already know and use how to link back to the original form so in-network team members can access the attachments that way. Issue this is going out of network and I need to solve how to get NAC attachments directly into emails as attachments.

In case nobody replies right away...you need to do the following:
1. Add a loop for each action
2. Loop through list item attachemts
3. Add an add item to collection
4. Create a collection
5. Add collecttion (wven if only one file) to fike atta hments on send an email action (not exchange)
Hope that helps. Basically create a collection of files.
Be mindful outlook has a limit and workflows will fail if limit is exceeded.

Hello
I hope I understand your requirement correctly.
The attachment control you put on the form ends up as a Collection (of Files) variable in the Workflow, you can use that Collection Variable directly in the Attachment property for the e-mail:

Thanks Deon, I don’t know it comes down to this … the Show Variables I have from my Start Event is different. What’s the missing part of the pie. I see you have vars but maybe what is it you mean by this, “The attachment control you put on the form ends up as a Collection (of Files) variable in the Workflow” How to do that because I don’t see those by default looking at var on my start event and thanks!
He gave you instructions for attachments on a Nintex Automation Cloud start event form.
Here are revised instructions now that I’m at my desk. I missed one action on my initial response.
Step 1) Create a collection variable for your files to be stored.
Step 2) Add a loop for each action - you need to loop through attachment details to fetch files.
Step 3) Add a Get item attachment by name action in the loop for each action.
Step 4) Add an add item to collection action in the loop for each action.
Step 5) Add a send an email and pass the collection variable to file attachments.
Your workflow would look like this:

Hi brandiwoodson, I can’t thank you enough. I am getting attachments now in emails from newly submitted Nintex forms. This now affords emails to go out to a vendor that translates documents for hospitals. It was a big deal and your screenshots keep using them they afforded me to see a lot of how the workflow activities came together that was awesome. My was question on email attachments has been answered by you thanks again :)
I’m glad I was able to help.
