Sometimes when sending you may need to attach files that are different for some recipients than others. MLK v10.14 allows the use of personalization fields anywhere in path of a file. To do this:

1. Select List > Send Email to List to display the message editor

2. Hold down the Shift key and click the "Attach" button on the message sending toolbar

3. Specify the full path to your attachment. Replacing as required with personalization fields


Example 1: You are sending to recipients in an Excel file and you have a column named "Attachment_1" that specifies a file to attach:

%COLUMN:Attachment_1%


Example 2: You have text files for each of your groups in the folder, C:\Attachments\

C:\Attachments\%Field:LastGroupJoined%.txt


Example 3: Japanese recipients receive C:\Attachments\Japan.txt. All others receive C:\Attachments\Other.txt

%CONDITION:Country=Japan%C:\Attachments\Japan.txt%CONDITION:ELSE%C:\Attachments\Other.txt%CONDITION:END%


Note:
- If the personalized attachments points to a file that does not exist then MLK will send normally but without the attachment
- You can add as many personalized attachments as you like
- You can use the default values option to handle unspecified fields
