Hi @tharakaathukorala,

I think you asked [a similar question a few years ago](https://connective.celigo.com/t/send-csv-attachments-using-gmail-connector/491). The Google Mail connector doesn't support sending attachments, but you could do it through a universal HTTP connection. According to Google Mail's REST API, you can upload an attachment as multipart/form-data. Here are some steps you'll need to follow:

1. [Create an HTTP connection](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039586072-Set-up-an-OAuth-2-0-HTTP-connection)
2. [Google Mail upload attachments REST API instructions](https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/uploads)
3. [Import files into an HTTP destination app](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/23181175479707-Import-files-into-an-HTTP-destination-app#import-files-into-an-http-destination-app-0)
4. [Upload a file or record as multipart/form-data](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052055191-Upload-a-file-or-record-as-multipart-form-data#c-build-the-request-body-3)

If you have any further questions, feel free to comment here or make a separate post in the community! Thanks!
