Can you send multiple attachments via gmail and pabbly connect?

Is it possible to send multiple file attachments through pabbly connect and gmail?

I current have a cognito form setup where users upload multiple documents. I was able to setup the flow for pabbly connect to send an email with gmail and send all the user entered data to various people in my organization. I was also able to set it up to send at least one attachment ok, but getting it to send ALL the attachments is a challenge. Any ideas on how I can send all my file attachments through gmail?

Well, weird thing is I actually did get it to send multiple email attachments at once. However, the number of files needed to stay constant. I mapped 4 separate file urls and it sent them. As long as I had 4 files attached in my form, it would pass it through pabbly and send the gmail with those 4 attachments. I even tried it with different sets of files and they all went through. However, when I changed the number of files to anything but those 4 I mapped, to say like 3 or 5 files, it didn't work. Very strange. Trying to think of a workaround since this wont work. My users are all going to send various numbers of files from 1 to 15 or so. I'm thinking I could merge the files into one pdf, then map only the one url, but I can't quite figure out how to do that yet.

Hey @mtorres6739

Correction - Yes, you can send multiple Image URLs by entering as a comma(,) separated list.

Regarding this, can you tell us are getting more than 2 attachment files every time or just getting 2 files all the time?

If I map 4 urls, and if I send 4 files in my form, I get 4 attachments in my email.
If I map 4 urls, and if I send 3 files in my form, the email doesn't even send.
If I map 4 urls, and if I send 5 files in my form, the email doesn't even send.
If I map 5 urls, and if I send 5 files in my form, I get 5 attachments in my email.

The number of mapped urls needs to match the number of files I send in my form. I need a solution to send me the attachments regardless if 1 file or 10 files are included in the form. I can't seem to figure that part out.

Hey @mtorres6739

Since the labels in which the attachment you are getting in the webhook response is not of the same type whereas we cannot create a static JSON array that can process your work accordingly.

If you couldn't get the fixed number of attachments then the workaround cannot work.

Regarding your concern, you can try the "Line Itemizer" action step to process multiple URLs in a different comma manner, which you can pass the Gmail action event.
