WFFM - Send Email With Attachment not working in 8.1 160523

Question

I am working with WFFM Upload File and was asked to send the file by attaching it in the Email. So I created a custom Save Action that is almost the same with the OOTB Send Email Message except for an additional xml configuration :

 <IncludeAttachments>true</IncludeAttachments>

In my end, it only puts link in the Email and saves the file to the Media Library instead of attaching the files in the Email.

The above configuration and behavior is based on the link below:

https://sitecorejunkie.com/2014/10/17/turn-off-the-attaching-of-files-in-emails-sent-by-web-forms-for-marketers-in-sitecore/amp/

I am not sure if this works in WFFM 8.1 160523 as some references are now Sitecore.WFFM.Actions.SaveActions.SendMessage instead of Sitecore.Form.Submit.SendMessage.

Please advice me on this.

Answer 1

I think this is now included out of the box with WFFM, no need for custom save action:

1. Navigate to /sitecore/system/Modules/Web Forms for Marketers/Settings/Actions/Save Actions/Send Email Message item.
2. In Parameters field add the following:

<IsIncludeAttachments>true</IsIncludeAttachments>

3. Save and publish changes.

I have it working on Sitecore 8.1 instance.
