I currently have a Forms/Workflow that takes submitted information from LF Forms and fills out/emails a PDF form through a workflow to external customers that do not have access to our Repository. I would like to be able to email the uploaded images that were submitted on the form as well. Currently LF Forms 9.2 does not have that function to email the attached images. I do have the LF Forms process modeler save the images and form to our Repository. From there my WF gathers all the submitted fields info and fills out a PDF and emails it to the customers, and this works fine. I tried to use the "find entries" function in WF to find those images in my repository to use in my "Route Entry to Folder" to email them. When I select to add an attachment the "find entries" is not appearing. Please help me find what I am missing.

Email image attachments from Forms through Workflow
Replies
Requests for being able to attach multiple entries to an email began back in 2013 and I am surprised that workflow still does not have this ability. I hope this is on the to do list for the next version of Workflow as we should be able to attach items either through a loop or all entries found via the Search Repository activity. With a variable # of items to attach, it is hard to build a dynamic solution due to this limitation.
Whoop sorry Daniel I misunderstood your question (then deleted everything by accident...).
You're not going to be able to attach multiple files to an email. Here's another answers post about the subject. https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/43655/Attaching-Multiple-Files-in-one-Email-activity.
However, if you know how many images you need to email, or are alright with emailing a set number, you can set up individual Find Entry activities to find the first couple files, download the electronic document, and then attach each result to your email.
Most of the time my users upload 1-6 images from the forms. I will not know the exact amount each time they submit it. I do have all the submitted images go to the same folder though. Is there any way I can have my WF attach them in an email by the folder that they are put in?
If they're all in the same folder then you should be able to email all the images out. Find the folder they're in, specify the type is a folder and attach all the documents inside as files.
