Yes, that has never worked as you think it does. The only way to have attachments included in a notification from Smartsheet is through the update request, which is really goofy if you just want to send the attachment
I think when a new row is created and you send the entire notification that the attachments may come through, I’d have to test all the cases.
But, this is why we use something like Power Automate to send the attachments… Smartsheet automations are terrible if you need to send any row attachments….
So, it’s not you, it’s Smartsheet. It’s very confusing that they give you that option when it doesn’t work.
