How to attach mail job

To attach a mail job in a workflow, you'll need to use a workflow automation tool that supports mail jobs. Here's a general outline of the steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a workflow automation tool installed, such as Zapier, Automator, or Microsoft Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow).
  2. You have a mail job (e.g., a CSV file or a database query) that you want to attach to your workflow.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Create a new workflow: In your workflow automation tool, create a new workflow or trigger a new instance of an existing workflow.
  2. Add a trigger: Choose a trigger that will initiate the workflow, such as a new email, a form submission, or a schedule.
  3. Add a mail job action: In the workflow, add an action that will attach the mail job to the workflow. This action is usually called "Attach File" or "Upload File".
  4. Configure the mail job action: Configure the action to attach the mail job to the workflow. You may need to specify the file path, file type, or other settings depending on your workflow automation tool.
  5. Add any additional actions: Depending on your workflow, you may need to add additional actions, such as processing the mail job data, sending an email, or updating a database.
  6. Test the workflow: Test the workflow to ensure that the mail job is attached correctly and the workflow runs as expected.

Example: Using Zapier

  4. Configure the "Attach File" action to attach the file to the email.
  5. Add any additional actions, such as sending the email or processing the mail job data.
  6. Test the Zap to ensure it works as expected.

Example: Using Microsoft Power Automate

Here's an example of how to attach a mail job using Microsoft Power Automate:

  4. Configure the "Upload file" action to upload the file to a cloud storage service (e.g., OneDrive).
  5. Add any additional actions, such as processing the mail job data or sending an email.
  6. Test the flow to ensure it works as expected.
