?>

Hi M.Abletech,
​
Do you have your Email action after the TCPDF action?
​
If you add a Debugger action after your Custom Code action you should be able to see if the link is being created correctly.
​
In the examples I saw in your first post here the Debugger data shows that the files data is wrong - the value of the link is the same as that for the path. That's a CF bug that I thought had been fixed, if not you can add to your custom code to change the value to the correct url for the file.

thank you!
​
So you mean I need to update [preventivo][link] with a custom action between tcpdf action and mail action?
And changing the value from the relative path to the url?
​
Thanks

Hi M.Abletech,
​
There's an example in this post of customising the TCPDF data. The bug is corrected in the last couple of lines.
