can a workflow be setup to send an email with attached saved search results just like a saved search export (to email) would?

The email action will run on every result of your saved search. So if you saved search has 100 sales orders in the results it will send 100 emails. 1 for each SO It doesn't email out the list of results

hmm yeah bugger. thank you!
all i’m trying to do is customised a saved search email (with results as a csv attached) with a custom field or a simple formula and thought workflow might have been the answer
a
You can do this from the email tab of the saved search it self. Set it up to run on a schedule and then you can include the results as a csv

yep doing that now, but i now just have a need to get a custom field into the email’s subject or body but i believe that is possible with single record results only
a
Correct. You can put text in the intro box that will be in the body of your email. but I don't think you can source custom field values in there. You can try it but I don't think it will work

yeah indeed it does not
