Send E-mail with attachment with workflow

Question

I use workflow in custom list. When new item is created and have attachment. An e-mail is send with attachment. I can not add attachment, or I don’t know how to do that with lookup.

I can add link with ID of newly created item, which is ok. But I would like to add attachment directly…

Answer 4

Oh, my bad Mohamed.  I did not notice I jumped from the pre-2010 forums into the 2010 forums...  Good catch.

This one is not free, but is a third party add-on from Virto Software.
