Sending Email Attachments Introduction The mgiSendMail tag can attach files from the server to an email. The mgiSendMail tag cannot directly attach files from your local computer to an email, however you could upload the file as part of a form submission via MGI's HTTP upload function and dynamically embed the file name as the attachment. You may attach multiple files to an email by including multiple "attachmentData" or "attachmentFileLocation" parameters in the mgiSendMail tag. This example illustrates attaching a product distributor list to a customer request. MGI Tags mgiSendMail Steps Create a request form and processing page. Open the processing page in a text editor.
