Hi, how can I do so? I believe it was downloading and uploding it togoogle drive, but there is something that Im missing By the way, can I send it directly after the creatiion of the doc avoiding to upload it to gdrive? Thank you very much ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/a/1a08516549357141b65b833f6f676912bd10f435.png) ---

You can download the content as HTML so that you can send it in the email body content field. To do this, you can try using the Google Drive “ **Download a File** ” module — > Downloads a file. ![Screenshot 2025-05-21 133927](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/a/7/a7816c3f8238705aecfe28ea734a82af3688a8de.png) For more information about the Download a File module and Google Drive app, see the corresponding [Integrations page](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/google-drive) and the [Help Centre documentation](https://apps.make.com/google-drive). Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. — @samliew ---

At the end of the workflow the last module of Google docs (Upload a file) creates a “asi.html” file. I tried combining options in gmail modu [blueprint.json](https://community.make.com/uploads/short-url/qK4Zh9BoxFXUsNoroauKBL8zbiD.json) (31.4 KB) le, but the email sent and received is far away from the epected result. Is it ok if you check my blueprint? ---

Why do you upload the HTML file back into Drive? Just use the downloaded data directly in the Email “Body” field. Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. — @samliew ---
