Hi,

&nbsp;&nbsp; Is it possible to embed a logfile in a "Send Email"-action email?&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; There's no problem attaching it, of course, but I'd prefer to embed it and not send it as an attachment.

&nbsp;Jay

Hi Jay,

Yep, it's possible but not quite as straight forward as attaching it. You'll need to first export the log to a temporary file then read it back in as a variable. I've attached a example project which does just this.

Regards,  
Paul.
