Emailing an attachment

Setup

1. Connect your flow to Email a file attachment.
   ‍
2. Select your Email template:
   
   1. Parabola branded (default): sends a branded email.
   2. Plain text without branding: sends a simple plaintext email.
   3. Delivery details: Regardless of template, emails are sent from the Parabola domain. The sender address is team@parabolamail.com. Set ‘Reply-to’ if you want responses to go elsewhere.
3. In the step, fill out all required fields:‍
   
   1. Email recipients: enter up to ten email addresses.‍
   2. Email subject: enter your subject line.‍
   3. Email body: write your message.
4. In Advanced settings, set Reply-to to direct recipient replies to the right inbox.

Use merge tags

You can insert dynamic values in Email recipients, Email subject, Email body, File name, and Reply-to by wrapping a column name in {}.

‍
Example: {Name} inserts the value from the first row of the {Name} column from the first connected input.

• To automatically remove any columns used as merge tags from the attachment, open Advanced settings and turn on Remove merge columns from output file.

Multiple inputs (Excel only)

If File format = Excel, the step can accept multiple inputs. Each input becomes a separate tab in the generated file. Give each tab a unique name.

Security

Parabola stores files you send through this step so your flow can reload results next time. We store data securely in Amazon S3, and all connections use SSL with encryption.

Limitations

• Maximum email size: 30 MB.
• The step does not send an email if the input contains zero rows.
• You can email up to 10 recipients
• This step sends an attachment to your specified recipients. By contrast, the Generate CSV file and Generate Excel file steps create a downloadable file and email a link to the flow owner. Files from the Generate steps are also available in the flow’s Run history.
