How to zip attached files during sending

[Lisa-M. S]

Hello,

I'm sending a file by e-mail.
But befor sending I want to zip it.

But not with an extra job and OS Agent.

Is it possible to zip the file with the sending Notification?

Thank you very much
Lisa

Hi.

Plain and simply, no - sorry.

There is no script function​ or built-in function to zip, or otherwise compress attachments to CALL objects in Automic. So you'd indeed need to do that with an OS job beforehand. You'd need to use Powershell ("Compress-Archive") or an external zip command such as 7z.exe or /usr/bin/zip.

Best regards,
Carsten

Hi

as Carsten explained, you will need at least an OS Job or OS CALL to zip the file.

The easiest method would be putting the OS-Zip-Job and the CALL object into a Workflow.

In theory you could use an os call out of a script, but for this you need approx. 28 Years automic experience incl. knowledge to avoid some builtin limitations :-)

cheers, Wolfgang
