Hi All,

I have created a watcher where the action is to send an email. A request came to me asking: Is it possible to use a date in the filename?

The receiver would like to see attachment-20190111.pdf

Can I use mustache syntax in the attachment name?

Hey,

sorry, this is currently not possible, as the attachment is treated as a static value.
