Adding file attachments to email

Here is a code snippet which adds file attachments to emails. 

For this we use the EmailFileAttachement object and add it to the EmailOptions when sending.

EmailTemplate emailTemplate = context.getObject( EmailTemplate.class, "some email template" );

EmailOptions emailOptions = new EmailOptions();

// This fictional method would return a String to

// set the fileName of the attachment.

String fileName = getFileName();

// This fictional method would return a byte[] to

// set the data of the attachment.

byte[] fileData = generateCsvFile();

EmailFileAttachment attachment = new EmailFileAttachment( fileName, EmailFileAttachment.MimeType.MIME_CSV, fileData );

emailOptions.addAttachment( attachment );

context.sendEmailNotification( emailTemplate, emailOptions );
