Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea how to attach a pdf, created from a report activity,  to an email?

My problem is when I add a link to Read File Bytes activity, it gives an error.

  Could you please update your question and add the actual error? That will help us finding out what's going wrong.If possible, attach a minimal workflow that reproduces the problem.

  Also, the activity name Read File Bytes seems to suggest this is about Workflow 4.x, not 5.x. Is that correct?

  Nabaz Gharib Mohammed - I've included a few screenshots below of a server-side workflow that should be able to help you out. 

  Basically you need to make sure that you use the "Run Workflow" activity in your client-side workflow to call the server-side workflow and include a parameter called "report" that includes the $runReport.href.  Then in your server side workflow use the "Get Workflow Inputs" activity and supply the report href as an input to the Send Web Request activity (expecting a blob).  Something like:  =$getWorkflowInputs.inputs["report"]

  
  Then use the Create Email Attachment and supply the blob from the web request as input.

  

  Then send the email with the attachment:
  

  Cheers,
