Is it possible to create an automation that sends new records created at the end of each day? Each Record would have multiple sub records and each sub records would have a photo as one of the fields. I would like the email to display the Record and sub records with the photos attached so that an email recipient who doesn’t have access to the Airtable database can view the photos. Maybe there is another way to do that without creating attachments? Can this even be done?
Question
How can I create an automation that sends an email with photos as attachments and not link
+31Hm, the only way we can send attachments is via the Send Email action via the ‘Add’ button in attachments:
The problem with this is that it sounds like you’re sending an update email with all the records created today, and if you use this function it’s just going to bundle up all the attachments created for that day and dump it in the attachments field. Unless the attachments were all named really well your users would be unable to tell which attachment is for which record / sub record
As a compromise, maybe you could send out one email per new record and add all the attachments for that record and its sub records to the Attachments? Still not as clear as you’d like I’m afraid

If the problem we’re trying to solve is people need to be able to see all the records / sub records created on a specific day, what if you created an Interface that grouped by day and invited them as read-only users instead? That way they’d only see the data you want them to see, it’d be free, and we’d be able to bypass this attachment issue
