Specify email attachment name in code

Has anyone specified an email attachment name via code?

I’m sending an Epicor standard report (several customized styles) to our customers based on criteria - A number of email address and recipient decisions must be made, therefore I’m executing the logic in a function which then sends the reports via email.

If I were using APR, I could set the attachment file name for each Style (and include helpful info). However, since I’m doing this all within code, I can’t seem to find the appropriate parameter to set.

For context, I’m setting the parameters in the Report’s parameter row:

I’m using FaxSubject for email subject:

Any thoughts?

I’m pretty sure @klincecum has put code up where he’s doing this or it was someone else here. It’s on here somewhere.

Multiple Kevin’s have cracked this nut.

@klincecum this was not a tag to get you to provide/work on figuring out the code either, not a lazy tag.

I felt pretty sure someone would have done this, but multiple searches returned APR and other (non-workable) options.

Before I answer, are you providing the chicken, or Utah? :delicious:

It most certainly is in the submit to agent step if I am not mistaken, whether someone did this with their own call or they did this in a BPM step I can’t recall.

Yes. Utah is providing the chicken!

Here is my function, does everything you want.

Let me read it and understand what I did, and I can explain your exact answer.

Here is the relevant bit:

  Dictionary<string, Stream> attachmentsDictionaryStream = new Dictionary<string, Stream>();      
  Dictionary<string, byte[]> attachmentsDictionaryBytes = null;
  
  try { attachmentsDictionaryBytes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, byte[]>>(attachmentsDictionaryJson); } catch {}
  
  if(attachmentsDictionaryBytes != null)
  {
      foreach(var item in attachmentsDictionaryBytes)
      {
          attachmentsDictionaryStream.Add(item.Key, new MemoryStream(item.Value));
      }
  }
  
  if(attachmentsDictionaryStream.Count() > 0)
  {
      mailer.Send(email, attachmentsDictionaryStream);
  }
  else mailer.Send(email);

Uh… it looks like the answer. It’s a bit more (real) coding that I typically do in Epicor, but I guess it’s time to broaden the ole horizons. I will dust off my reference books, grab some chicken, and see if I can digest (Lol!) this. Thank you!

If you want to modify your code to see how to fit it in, I don’t mind helping.

Or you could just use my library, or @kve has one similar.

Oh, I re-read the top post, and now I see what you are actually doing.

Hmmmm, new thoughts are forming.

Does it have a description field? That’s probably where the file name comes from.

Looking at the parameters in API Help, I see no description field.

Poking it.

I will say, if we can’t finagle the submit to agent call, I can show you how to use RunDirect to grab the report and do it the hard way. (It’s not that hard.)
