workflow email robot - attachments

Guys,

Anyone have any success using the attachment functionality in an email
robot.
I tested select PBO primary content and a second test selecting a process
variable.

The emails arrive just fine but nothing is attached.

Just tried it with 10.1 M040 with both PBO primary content and a process variable.
Emails get sent fine but no attachment here either.

Hi David,



Attachments in the Email robots in Windchill works as below:



1) If the user is a windchill user, then the pbo will go as a hyper link in the email.


2) If the user is a non-windchill user, then the pbo will go as a attachment to the mail.



I think you are sending the mail to a windchill user with selecting all the attachments. So, pbo will go as a link in th mail.



Try sending to a user who is not a windchill user, he will receive the mail with attachment.



I hope above points clarifies your concern.

Is there a way to force the system to attach the object? We have users who travel a lot and are not always able to access Windchill to view the objects, so they would like to get attachments in their email notifications.


Also, is there a way to attach files to task notifications, or is that only possible using the notification robot?


Thanks,

Hi Benjamin

Did you ever figure this one out?

I am trying to implement the same thing with no success!

Many Thanks
