Is there a way to attach a file to an email without creating the actual file?

make file, attach, delete file?  NINJAEDIT!

hahaha. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was just hoping there would be a way without doing that

So I’m not actually sure what you mean by “without creating the actual file”

but I think you can create file and attach without saving to File Cabinet, if that’s what you are hoping to achieve

e.g. you could create a PDF of a transaction with render.transaction()

you just need a File Object, not an actual file saved to the FC, AFAIK

I believe this method might still save to the file cabinet on emails sent. If you are trying to avoid file cabinet size limitations. There are other ways as well.

<@U02Q9U60TUG> What would those other methods be?

<@U4TPAFXEC> I tried just adding a file object, but it didn't add it sadly.

you can add to external system and link to that such as an S3 bucket on AWS. Or onedrive, etc. depends on your security needed.

This is odd, I’m pretty sure I’ve done this successfully.
