The following table describes all available input fields for this action.

Input	Type	Description	Example
destinationId	String	Required. DestinationId associated with the New Relic destination. See NerdGraph tutorial: Alerts destinations to configure a destination and retrieve its ID, and 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.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.
