Although the user can send an email from Salesforce by using various methods, sending an email along with attachments is not quite possible. So, here’s a step by step guide on how to send an email along with attachments from Salesforce. The components that we will require for this functionality is a VisualForce page and an Apex class.<\/p>\n

1. Create an Apex class and use the code mentioned in the below image.<\/p>\n

\"Apex<\/a>

Apex class<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Apex<\/a>

Apex class<\/p><\/div>\n

2. Now for VisualForce page, use the below mentioned code.<\/p>\n

\"Visualforce<\/a>

Visualforce page<\/p><\/div>\n

The apex class consists of logic that will store the attachment and then send the mail accordingly. The VisualForce page is a mere interface which simply helps in implementing the functionality.<\/p>\n

The user enters the email address in the field \u201cSend To\u201d and then enters the respective Subject and the body of the mail. The user then clicks on \u201cBrowse\u201d to select the file to be sent as an attachment and then the user clicks on \u201cAttach & Send\u201d. Once the user clicks on this button the attachment selected gets stored\/inserted into Document object and the mail is sent along with attachment to the mentioned email address.<\/p>\n
