Create Document from Spreadsheet then Send as Attachment in Email

Hello!

I am a teacher who runs the Credit Recovery program at my school. I am trying to create a way to make a scenario that allows me to put together data for a progress report on a Google Sheet, turn that into a Google Doc, then attach that to an email to send to both the student and their parent/ guardian.

I can do the Google Sheet to Google Doc. I’ve been doing that type of automation for a while. However, the process of getting the email to do what I want that is the issue.

I tried to do it where I had the content of the progress report in the email, but it turned it all to a single paragraph instead of the separated paragraphs that I had initially designed for the progress report.

Any assistance would be greatly helpful!

Hi @Adrienne_Haggerty Welcome to the community.

Can we see some screenshots of what you accomplished so far?

I suppose you only need a “Google Drive - Download a file” module between the google doc creation and the Send email module. Then, in Send email, map the attachment to the Downloaded file.

Dorry for the delay in response; I am actively teaching each day and this week was a week. Here is what I have:

The problem is that the Download File module is asking for a file name, but that should be created with the “Create a Document from a Template” and it wants me to add a file ID. I am really confused, even after reading the help pages.

If this is too much, is there a way to get the information to populate in the body of a message and for that message to not bunch up into a single paragraph?
