Automate Outlook Emails with Attachments Using n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your email communication by automating the creation, attachment of files, and sending of draft emails directly from your Microsoft Outlook account. This n8n workflow leverages the power of the Microsoft Outlook node to manage your outgoing messages efficiently.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for automating your Microsoft Outlook email tasks. It begins by creating a draft email with a personalized HTML body, then fetches an external file (like a logo) via an HTTP request, and finally attaches it to the previously created draft. The workflow concludes by sending the email draft, ensuring your automated communications are professional and complete. It's an ideal way to send templated emails with dynamic content or attachments, saving you time and reducing manual effort in your daily operations.
Key Features
- Automated Email Creation: Generate and save draft emails with custom HTML content.
- Dynamic File Attachment: Automatically fetch and attach files from URLs to your emails.
- Send Drafts Instantly: Trigger the sending of prepared email drafts directly from n8n.
- Seamless Outlook Integration: Works directly with your Microsoft Outlook account via OAuth2.
- Flexible Workflow Design: Easily customize email content, recipients, and attachments.
How To Use
- Add Trigger: Start with a manual trigger or any other desired trigger node.
- Create Initial Draft: Use the 'Microsoft Outlook' node, set 'Resource' to 'draft', and configure your 'Subject', 'Body Content' (using HTML is recommended), and 'Body Content Type' (set to 'html').
- Fetch Attachment: Add an 'HTTP Request' node to download the file you want to attach. Set the 'URL' to the file's location and 'Response Format' to 'file'.
- Add Attachment: Connect the 'HTTP Request' node to a second 'Microsoft Outlook' node. Set 'Resource' to 'messageAttachment', use an expression like
{{$node["Microsoft Outlook"].json["id"]}}for 'Message ID', and configure the 'File Name'. - Send the Email: Connect the attachment node to a third 'Microsoft Outlook' node. Set 'Resource' to 'draft', 'Operation' to 'send', and use the same 'Message ID' expression. Specify recipients in 'Additional Fields' under 'recipients'.
