Sending emails with attachment via pipeline

vitran23 — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 02:35:12 GMT

Does anyone know if it's possible to loop through a set of files in a lake house and attach them to a email and send out to a distribution group within a pipeline?

I've done this via a VBScript just curious if there is native functionality to allow this in fabric pipelines.

Hi vitran23,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

The fabric pipeline doesn't support sending emails with attachments directly through Outlook activity; it can only send plain emails.

To work around this, create a data pipeline to fetch the required files from the Lakehouse and store them in a staging location such as Blob storage. Then, trigger Power Automate using a web activity to send the files via email.

Thank you.

As stated, Outlook activity unfortunately doesnt support email attachments.

You can use logic apps or external offerings for the same:

And you can trigger the logic app via fabric data pipeline
