Attachments

The Attachments picker exists in More options, but files are not attached on send yet — use links instead.

Current status

Under More options you may see an Attachments control. That UI is not wired through to Gmail send today: chosen files are not attached to outbound messages.

Treat attachments as a known gap, not a supported workflow.

Until attachments ship:

  1. Upload the file to Google Drive (or any public host).
  2. Share with Anyone with the link → Viewer.
  3. In the template body, use Insert link with clear text (“Download PDF”, “Open invoice”).
  4. Confirm with Send me a test email.

Same pattern as Images (links only — no embed control).

What still works without attachments

  • Personalized body merge tags
  • Preview + test email
  • Schedule send, tracking, CC/BCC columns
  • Paid pacing and remove branding

Coming later

Real file attachments (and clearer UI when they work) are on the roadmap. Until then, prefer Drive / HTTPS links in the body.
