Hi @diaz,

It appears you’re looking to send an email with an attachment using Microsoft Outlook within a Pipedream workflow. While the provided documentation does not directly cover Microsoft Outlook actions, I can guide you on how to generally approach sending emails with attachments in Pipedream, which you can adapt for Microsoft Outlook.

First, ensure you have the Microsoft Outlook app integrated with your Pipedream account. If Pipedream supports Microsoft Outlook directly, you would typically find it under the apps section at https://pipedream.com/apps. Since the specific Microsoft Outlook action isn’t detailed in the provided documentation, I recommend checking the Pipedream app directory for the most up-to-date information on supported actions and their usage.

For sending emails with attachments in general, you would follow these steps:

  1. Add the Email Action to Your Workflow:

    • In your Pipedream workflow, add a new step.
    • Search for the Email app and select it.
    • Choose the action that corresponds to sending an email. If you’re using Microsoft Outlook, look for an action like “Send Email” or similar.

  2. Configure the Email Action:

    • Connect your Microsoft Outlook account by following the prompts.
    • Fill in the required fields such as the recipient’s email address, subject, and body of the email.
    • For attachments, you’ll need to provide the attachment data. This usually involves specifying the attachment’s content and possibly its MIME type. The exact fields and format will depend on how the Microsoft Outlook action in Pipedream is designed.

  3. Test Your Setup:

    • Once you’ve configured the action, use the Test feature to send an email. This will help ensure everything is set up correctly.

Since the specifics of attaching files in an email via Microsoft Outlook in Pipedream are not covered in the provided documentation, I recommend looking for detailed instructions within the Pipedream UI when you add the Microsoft Outlook action to your workflow. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please visit Support - Pipedream for more support options.

Remember, the ability to send emails with attachments will depend on the specific capabilities of the Microsoft Outlook action within Pipedream. If you find that Pipedream does not currently support this action for Microsoft Outlook, you can request new integrations via [New Pipedream Integration Request](https://forms.pipedream
