I'm pretty new to Nintex Cloud Automation. I am trying to get attachments from a SharePoint list and attach those to an email, so I'm using the Item Attachments. I just can't figure out how to pull more than 1 for the email. Then I thought maybe store the attachments in a document library, so I did that. I also don't see where I can append to a variable. Can someone help? Let me know if more information is needed.

Hi @rkohnasb
Use the Get item attachment by name action
This will get 1 item from SharePoint List and store the filename as a file variable.
Add more Get item attachment by name action if you have more attachments.
Refer to Help -> SharePoint Online - Get item attachment by name (nintex.com)
Add the Send an Email action
Configure the Recipient, Subject and Body.
Insert the file variable(s) into the File Attachments field.
1 file variable per attachment.

Hi Garrett,
Thank you for your reply, but I have gotten that to work. Sometimes there will be more than one attachment. Is it possible to attach multiple files to an email?

Yes. You can attach multiple files. Just keep adding the file variables.
Just beware not to exceed the attachment filesize - 2MB, 5MB, 10MB as set by your email administrator

Hi Garrett,
I have this same question, but each line item has an unknown number of attachments, between 1 and 10. When the item is updated (and certain other criteria are met), an email with all the attachments needs to be sent. How do I add all the attachments to an email, when each line item has a different number of attachments?
