Attaching file to email

Hi There,

 

I would like to attach and attachment to an email. Looking through the documentation I can see the methods for setDocumentAttachments and setFileAttachments  but neither of these appear to allow attaching an 'Attachment' object.

 

I have an opportunity with a file attached in 'Notes & Attachments' but not sure how to add this to an email.

 

TIA

Try out the sample code to get a file attachment attached with email :

 

            account = [select Name, (SELECT Contact.Name, Contact.Email FROM Account.Contacts)

            from Account where id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')];

            // Reference the attachment page, pass in the account ID

                                                Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

                                                PageReference pdf = Page.attachmentPDF;

                                                pdf.getParameters().put('id',(String)account.id);

                                                pdf.setRedirect(true);

 

                                                // Take the PDF content

                                                Blob b = pdf.getContent();

 

                                                // Create the email attachment

                                                Messaging.EmailFileAttachment efa = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();

                                                efa.setFileName('attachment.pdf');

                                                efa.setBody(b);

                                                email.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] {efa});

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Pradeep,

 

I don't think this will quite achieve what I'm after unless I have misunderstood. This looks like attaching a file from an upload, is that right?

 

What I need to be able to do is attach a file that is already in SFDC, but it hasn't been uploaded as a 'Document' it has been uploaded as an 'Attachment' to an Opportunity. 

 

Is this possible to do?

 

TIA
