@tharakaathukorala it's possible, but not easy. There is a template in the marketplace that I created for sending google mail emails with attachments, but it requires you to have the file represented as a base64 encoded string. So the main issue is converting the pdfs you get from your FTP server and converting it the base64 encoded string. We don't currently have a way to convert the blobKey you get into this. You would need to make an intermediate step to convert the blob to base64 encoded string like this: [https://connective.celigo.com/t/faq-convert-a-blob-key-to-base64-string-for-import/358](https://connective.celigo.com/t/faq-convert-a-blob-key-to-base64-string-for-import/358) Alternatively, if you have NetSuite, I could create a better method using NetSuite as an intermediary and post it here.
