Hi @Den_K

Please can you share your workflow in a code block so I can try and fix it for you. Please pin some sample data from the Get lead sheet node.

Essentially you need to pull the attachment binary all the way from the on form sub node right before the gmail node for this to work.

Please fix this and if you can optimize this as well. I have been trying this for very long and still no progress from my side.
