The ability to send attachments with the built-in email node makes sense.

The built-in email node is using SendGrid under the hood. For production applications, we would recommend using your own SendGrid account, which gives you a lot more control over how emails are sent.

As a workaround for now, you can invoke the [SendGrid API](https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API_v3/Mail/index.html) directly using your own account with the [HTTP Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/http/). The SendGrid API does have the ability to send attachments.
