Using Google Drive File as mail attachment

I want to use the Google Drive output as attachment for a mail. I was able to send the mail and to use the file name in the mail body. But when I attach the Binary from the Google Drive Node it won’t attach the file. What can I do?

n8n version: 0.178.2

Hey @Candy9811, welcome to the community :tada:

I am sorry to hear you’re having trouble here. The Send Email node would require the name of your binary property in its Attachments field. In your Google Drive note you use the value data for this property:

This is also what you’d need to use in your Send Email node:

Edit: You might also want to set the File Name field on your Google Drive node, otherwise it might cause trouble in some email clients:

Let me know if you’re still facing any issues once you’ve updated your Attachment field :slight_smile:
