Attaching File to Email

[mikejandreau]

I have the need to attach a file to an email I'm sending through a Gmail action. But I want to put an .htaccess in the directory where the file is, so it's not available online.

Will that break the ability for the workflow to send that file?

Hi @mikejandreau,

Could you please share the Workflow URL in which you have this concern?

This is my workflow: https://connect.pabbly.com/workflow/mapping/IjU3NjUwNTZiMDYzZjA0MzY1MjZmNTUzMTUxMzMi_pc

The steps that pass a PDF to CloudConvert, I want to protect those files so no one can stumble on them publicly before being processed.

Please allow us some time to look into your concern. We will get back to you with an update soon.

I had a discussion with the technical team, and they have informed me that the URL must be publicly accessible and hosted online. However, you can make the PDF password-protected, so even if someone stumbles upon the file, it will be protected through a password. Other than this, we don't have any particular workaround for your use case.
