Attaching resources

You can attach resources to an email. The resource can be used as attachment, email body or alternative email body.

When you specify the Attachment path you can either specify the path to a file on disk, a URI to an Open Text Media Management (OTMM) asset or a URI to a resource stored in the runtime repository via a Resource filter or Resource output connector.

To be able access OTMM assets you must first create a Media Management connection profile (see the Profile configurations documentation). When you have the connection profile you can reference an asset using the following syntax:

otmm://<profileName>/<reference>
