Has anyone done any workflows creating email attachments?
I have a partial workflow working but don't know how to hand the attachment off to the workflow.set_output(?).
I'd like to send text documents to my Kindle as attachments and/or HTML files.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Check out smtplib for sending email. Nice tutorial here.
Thanks. Sure I could build my own smtp interface.
Was thinking it might be a simple task to use Editorial's Send Email workflow module. But instead of placing text/html into the body, I was looking for a way to simply ATTACH the existing file. If that's not doable, I'll go the build-my-own solution.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I think email attachments work, the file is uploaded to a server somewhere, and a link to a download is included in the HTML of the email. This effect could be achieved by uploading the file to dropbox, I think.
There's currently no way to use the built-in email sheet for sending attachments, so using smtplib is probably your best bet.
Thanks. I'll start coding. If successful I'll share the workflow.

Hello everybody.
This is my first question on that forum and I hope someone will have time to answer.
I need to send the text as a .txt file as ATTACHMENT in mail and not as text in mail.
Can I ask you if you have found a way of doing so and if you did, is there a way of getting that workflow.
Thanks in advance.
( I am new. I am French. I use Editorial for script writing for 2 weeks now. It is perfect for me. But I have still issues I can't fix. And I don't know nothing about coding or Python for the moment and, because I am already late to finish a script I am on at the moment, I don't plan to learn coding or Python for the next weeks.)
Try this workflow:

Thank you very much for this quick answer. It works perfectly.
To you think it is possible to have the possibility of "sending the text as an attachment" in a ACTION?
(Like the simple Action " COMPOSE EMAIL" but with text as attachment in place of text on the mail)
Not really, see discussion above.
You can always attach a file from dropbox directly to a new message in mail.app, but it requires even more tapping
