I have a node type "invoice" which contains a file field "field_invoice" (pdf). I’m setting up following rules action and am searching for a way to rules pick up the file from "field_invoice" and send out an e-mail with the file attached to an user.
I’m on D9.3.x and have Rules + Swiftmailer running properly.
This is my current Rules
- Event: After saving a new content entity of type Invoice
- Condition: Entity is of bundle (node, node, Invoice)
- Action: Send E-mail
So far I’m good. I can access "field_invoice" in the Send E-mail action.
Next step I tried is creating a custom module with this in mymodule.module:
$file->uri = '<what do I put here?>'; // File path $file->filename = '<and what do I put here?>'; //File name $file->filemime = 'application/pdf'; //File mime type $params['attachments'][] = $file; $mailManager->mail($module, $key, $to, $langcode, $params, NULL, $send); function mymodule_mail($key, &$message, $params) { switch ($key) { case 'my_email_key': $message['body'][] = $params['body']; $message['subject'] = $params['subject']; $message['params']['attachments'] = $params['attachments']; break; } } But I have no idea how to let mymodule pick up my Rule and pass the uploaded file when it runs. There are a lot of similar, well-answered questions, but all dating back from the D7-era with outdated information. I find little documentation or use cases on how to achieve this with D8-D9.
Documentation I found but was insufficient to me:
