Email service and CSV

Anvil Q&A
1

Good Afternoon all,
I’m having some novice problems with the email service

I wish to send an email an attach a csv which is exported from a table

I have tried the following and i have attempted to find the solution via the docs but coming up short.
any assistance please

my code:

file = app_tables.my_table.search()

file = email_csv.to_csv

email = anvil.media.from_file(file,‘text/csv’,‘Test File’)

anvil.email.send(
from_name = “Me”,
to = “myemail@email.com”,
attachments = email
)

What are the symptoms?

If you can provide a clone-link, you will probably get more helpful responses. Also note you can wrap your code-blocks in ``` to format as code.

It looks like you are not calling the to_csv method. Also, the object returned by to_csv is a media object so the anvil.media.from_file is not needed.

This is probably closer:

file = app_tables.my_table.search().to_csv()
anvil.email.send(
    from_name = “Me”,
    to = “myemail@email.com”,
    attachments = file,
    subject="my csv file"
)

Many thanks
That’s worked perfectly
