welcome, I am trying to send email with attachment (.png or .pdf) no success so far. regular emails are sent though. Is there a way to send attachments using Wix? thanks!

This is the text that appears in email body: [object Object]

Here is part of the code:

function sendFormData(attachment) {

var attachments = [{
‘filename’: ‘filename.png’,
‘content’: attachment,
‘contentType’: ‘application/png’
}]

var counter = 0,
attach = [];

attach.push(attachments);

const subject = test subject;
const body = attach;
const recipient = ‘example@gmail.com’;

sendEmailWithRecipient(subject, body, recipient) 
.then(response => console.log(response)); 

sendEmail(subject, body) 
.then(response => console.log(response));

}

#sendgrid #email #attachment

Wix sites do not support a “standard” file system for the site. Where are the files that you wish to attach?

thanks for a response! I am generating file at runtime.

@davitgoderdzishvili1 Wix Code does not support a “standard” file system, so there’s really no place to save the file - and therefore no path name.

I am taking a snapshot of html canvas. then I want to send this image via email. is there a way to achieve this functionality using wix? this is crustal part of the website we are working on.

@davitgoderdzishvili1 What do you mean by “html canvas”?

@Yisrael (Wix)
This is how I get image from html, it is generating image url (this logic is inside HTML iframe), I am sending this string to wix page using window.parent.postMessage(doc, “*”); so data is there. Now I want to embed generated image in email as an attachment.

I think only way would be to host file using external sever and attach a link.

@davitgoderdzishvili1 Aha - now I understand. However, doesn’t help much. As I mentioned before, the image has no path in the file system. You can see Steve Cropper’s post which explains how to download a file - but this has to be done from an HtmlComponent.

Yes, this logic is in html component

In my comments about Steve Cropper’s post above, I mean that the actual download is done from the HtmlComponent. Downloading or emailing a file cannot be done from Wix Code.

@yisrael-wix thanks for clarification, now I am planning to save image on wix database and share link, this should work right?

This still does not work because image urls are local to wix.
