Salesforce<\/a> provides different types of Email templates like Text template, HTML, Custom and Visualforce email template. The visualforce email template is a very powerful template type as we can create a custom Visualforce page and display it as an Email body. Along with this, it also provides flexibility of adding an attachment in the mail.<\/p>\n

Please find below code snippet to demonstrate the same:<\/p>\n

code snippet demonstrating adding attachment in the mail<\/p><\/div>\n

Visualforce template allows us to add an attachment of different types such as pdf, excel, csv or html file. The type of an attachment is specified using “renderAs”<\/strong> attribute. You can also specify the name of the file using “filename”<\/strong> attribute.<\/p>\n

The result of the above code snippet looks like:<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/a>

Email along with attachment<\/p><\/div>\n

After opening up an attachment, it looks like:<\/p>\n
