Email Templates | Attaching files

You can attach one or more files to an email template so every email based on the template includes a copy of the attachments. Files up to 3MB in size are sent as attachments; larger files are converted to HTML links for download and remain available for 30 days.

To attach a file to an email template:

  1. Go to:

    • In Salesforce Classic interface: Setup > Administration Setup > Communication Templates.

    • In Salesforce Lightning Experience: Setup > Administration > Email > Classic Email Templates.

  2. Select the Email Template Name:
