See [NerdGraph tutorial: Alerts destinations](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/nerdgraph/examples/nerdgraph-api-notifications-destinations/) to configure a destination and retrieve its ID, and [Destinations](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts/get-notified/destinations/) for more information. | `123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000` | | **subject** | String | **Required.** Subject of the email. | `workflow-notification` | | **message** | String | **Required.** Message to send in the email. | `Hello! from Workflow Automation` | | **attachments** | List | **Optional.** A list of optional attachments. | | | **attachment.type** | Enum | **Required.** The content type of the attachment: `QUERY` (Query), `RAW` (Raw data), or `DASHBOARD_SNAPSHOT` (Dashboard snapshot). | | | **attachment.query** | String | **Optional.** For `QUERY` type, the NRQL query statement. | `SELECT * FROM Log` | | **attachment.accountIds** | List | **Optional.** For `QUERY`, the New Relic account IDs to execute the query against. If not provided, uses the account associated with the workflow. | `[12345567]` | | **attachment.format** | Enum | **Optional.** For `QUERY`, the output format. Default: `JSON`. | `JSON` `CSV` `PSV` `TSV` | | **attachment.content** | String | **Optional.** For `RAW`, the attachment content in UTF-8. | `A,B,C\n1,2,3` | | **attachment.filename** | String | **Optional.** A filename for the attachment. If omitted, a name is generated automatically. | `log_count.csv` | | **attachment.dashboardGuid** | String | **Required (for `DASHBOARD_SNAPSHOT`).** The GUID of the dashboard to snapshot. Toggle **JQ input** to provide a dynamic expression. | `YOUR_DASHBOARD_GUID` | | **attachment.dashboardParams** | Object | **Optional (for `DASHBOARD_SNAPSHOT`).** Snapshot configuration options. Omit to use all dashboard defaults. | | | **attachment.dashboardParams.format** | Enum | **Optional.** File format of the snapshot. | `PDF` `PNG` | | **attachment.dashboardParams.display** | Object | **Optional.** Dimensions of the snapshot image. | | | **attachment.dashboardParams.display.width** | Integer | **Optional.** Width in pixels. Min: `10`, max: `2000`. | `1920` | | **attachment.dashboardParams.display.height** | Integer | **Optional.** Height in pixels. Min: `10`, max: `2000`. | `1080` | | **attachment.dashboardParams.variables** | List | **Optional.** Template variable overrides. Each entry requires `name` and a `values` list. Only variables already defined on the dashboard are valid — passing an undefined variable name causes the workflow to fail. | | | **attachment.dashboardParams.timeWindow** | Object | **Optional.** Time window for the snapshot. Omit entirely to use the dashboard's saved time window. Provide either `duration` (relative) or `beginTime` and `endTime` (absolute range) — not both. | | | **attachment.dashboardParams.timeWindow.duration** | Integer | **Optional.** Relative time window in milliseconds. | `1800000` (30 minutes) | | **attachment.dashboardParams.timeWindow.beginTime** | Integer | **Optional.** Absolute start time in epoch milliseconds. Use with `endTime`. | `1789452840316` | | **attachment.dashboardParams.timeWindow.endTime** | Integer | **Optional.** Absolute end time in epoch milliseconds. Use with `beginTime`. | `1789454640316` | | **attachment.dashboardParams.entityFilter** | String | **Optional.** Filters dashboard data by entity. Provide the filter expression without the `WHERE` keyword. | `appName = 'Production'` | | **selectors** | List | **Optional.** Selectors to extract specific fields from the output. | `[{"name": "success", "expression": ".success"},{"name": "attachments", "expression": ".response.attachments"},{"name": "sessionId", "expression": ".response.sessionId"}]` | ## Outputs The following table describes all output fields returned by this action. | Output | Type | Example | | -------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `success` | Boolean | `true/false` | | `sessionId` | String | `"sessionId": "7fa97f26-3791-492e-a39b-53793163dfb9"` | | `errorMessage` | String | `"Channel is a required field in the notification send"` | | `attachments` | List | ```yaml [{ "blobId": "43werdtfgvhiu7y8t6r5e4398yutfgvh", "rowCount": 100 }] ``` | ## Example | Workflow example: QUERY attachment | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ```yaml name: email_testing_with_attachment description: Workflow to test sending an email notification via NewRelic with log step workflowInputs: destinationId: type: String steps: - name: sendEmailNotification type: action action: newrelic.notification.sendEmail version: 1 inputs: destinationId: ${{ .workflowInputs.destinationId }} subject: "workflow notification" message: "Workflow Email Notification Testing from local" attachments: - type: QUERY query: "SELECT * FROM Log" format: JSON filename: "log_count.json" selectors: - name: success expression: '.success' - name: sessionId expression: '.response.sessionId' - name: attachments expression: '.response.attachments' - name: logOutput type: action action: newrelic.ingest.sendLogs version: '1' inputs: logs: - message: "Hello from cap check Testing staging server user2 : ${{ .steps.sendEmailNotification.outputs.result.attachments }}" ``` | | Workflow example: Dashboard snapshot attachment | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ```yaml name: email_with_dashboard_snapshot description: Workflow to send an email with a dashboard snapshot as a PDF attachment workflowInputs: destinationId: type: String steps: - name: sendDashboardSnapshot type: action action: newrelic.notification.sendEmail version: 1 inputs: destinationId: ${{ .workflowInputs.destinationId }} subject: "Daily Dashboard Report" message: "Please find today's dashboard snapshot attached." attachments: - type: DASHBOARD_SNAPSHOT filename: "daily-report.pdf" dashboardGuid: "YOUR_DASHBOARD_GUID" dashboardParams: format: PDF display: width: 1920 height: 1080 variables: - name: env values: - production - staging timeWindow: duration: 86400000 selectors: - name: success expression: '.success' - name: sessionId expression: '.response.sessionId' - name: attachments expression: '.response.attachments' ``` |
