Email - Send Message with File

Overview​

Send a message to anyone in the world using email, attaching one or more files.

To have Shipyard dynamically parse and output the contents of a file, you can include the filename in this format: {{text:file.txt}}

To upload multiple files, use Regex Match Type.

Due to email file size constraints, when the the total file size >10MB, Shipyard will automatically zip the files under the name "Archive.zip".

Note: This Vessel cannot be used to access a local file from your computer.

Recommended Setup:

  1. A Vessel built with this Blueprint should typically run after a Vessel that either downloads a file to Shipyard or generates a file with code.
