Sending Excel File as Attachment Using Outlook Activity in Fabric Pipeline

I am trying to send an Excel file as an attachment using the Outlook activity in a Microsoft Fabric Data Pipeline. However, I am not able to attach the file successfully.

Is it possible to send an Excel file as an attachment directly through the Outlook activity in Fabric? If not, is there any recommended alternative approach to achieve this within Fabric?

Thanks

    Hi shivampathakmaq ,
    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

     

    In Microsoft Fabric Data Pipelines, the Outlook activity currently does not support sending file attachments directly, including Excel files. The activity is mainly intended for simple notification emails rather than handling attachments.

     

    As a workaround, you can use Logic Apps, Power Automate, or other external services to send the email with the Excel file attached. The pipeline can trigger these services, which then handle the attachment and email delivery.

     

    Please go through the below solved issue which is related to the same issue:
