Email tool error with attachment

Mike_Rischard

I have a workflow that is failing if I include an attachment using Field:FullPath. The emails work if I exclude the attachment, so I know the SMTP credentials are OK. Attachments settings and Email tool error are below.

 

The attachments are PDF files.

 

Any help is appreciated.

hey @Mike_Rischard 

the error 

Failure when receiving data from the peer

Occurs when the email account does not have the correct permission to send the email. I would suggest that the SMTP settings are setup that you cannot send emails like this with attachments.

Theres a little more about it here:

I would maybe suggest double checking with your SMTP settings/Admin to check if this is being flagged in the logs somewhere.

Hope this helps,

The error was caused because there were spaces in the pdf file names. Added a formula to replace spaces with underscores in the file names and the emial attachment worked.

 

Thanks,
