Apprise with a simple attachment shown in example dont work

[jayasimha-raghavan-unskript]

Hello!

Thank you for creating this Awesome Package!

While trying out this example -

import apprise
from loguru import logger

# Create an Apprise instance
apobj = apprise.Apprise()


apobj.add(f'sendgrid://{api_key}:{from_email}/{to_email}')

# Then send your attachment.
response = apobj.notify(
    title='A great photo of our family',
    body='The flash caused Jane to close her eyes! hah! :)',
    attach='/path/for/test.jpg',
)

if response:
    logger.info("Successfully sent Notification")

Email gets delivered, however attachment is missing. Is there a working example for sendgrid or AWS SES that work with Attachments? Any help is appreciated. The apobj.notify returns True and i can see the Successfully sent Notification message too. Can you tell me how can i go about to send email with Attachments?

Thanks!
Jayasimha

Unfortunately the sendgrid:// integration does not support attachments. I will investigate if attachments are even supported; if i recall they weren't at the time this integration was made.

However, sendgrid has an email interface you can use leveraging mailto:// which does support attachments... Use the syntax:

• mailto://{user}:{password}@sendgrid.com?from=noreply@{validated_domain}

see here for more details

As per SES, there is attachment support. It's not working for you?

Thank you @caronc for the response, i will try the mailto:// and report on that. Regarding SES i wanted to use role arn. Please correct me if i am wrong, apprise does not support role-arn yet.

Thanks again @caronc for the wonderful Library!

I figured out using the notify decorator.

Here is a simple implementation if someone is looking for similar approach.

import os
import sendgrid
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import Mail, Attachment, FileContent, FileName, FileType, Disposition
from apprise.decorators import notify
from base64 import b64encode

@notify(on="sendgrid")
def custom_notify(body, title='', notify_type=None, attach=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Custom notification function that sends an email via SendGrid.
    
    :param body: The body of the email.
    :param title: The subject of the email.
    :param notify_type: The type of notification (not used in this example).
    :param attach: List of file paths to attach to the email.
    :param kwargs: Additional keyword arguments.
    """

    # Load the SendGrid API key and email information from environment variables
    api_key = os.getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    from_email = os.getenv('SENDGRID_FROM_EMAIL')
    to_email = os.getenv('SENDGRID_TO_EMAIL')

    if not api_key or not from_email or not to_email:
        print("Error: SendGrid API key, from email, or to email not configured.")
        return False

    # Initialize the SendGrid client
    sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(api_key=api_key)

    # Create the Mail object
    message = Mail(
        from_email=from_email,
        to_emails=to_email,
        subject=title,
        html_content=body
    )

    # Handle attachments if provided
    if attach:
        for file_path in attach:
            with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
                file_data = f.read()
                encoded_file = b64encode(file_data).decode()

                attachment = Attachment(
                    FileContent(encoded_file),
                    FileName(os.path.basename(file_path)),
                    FileType('application/octet-stream'),
                    Disposition('attachment')
                )
                message.add_attachment(attachment)

    try:
        # Send the email
        response = sg.send(message)
        print(f"Email sent successfully! Status Code: {response.status_code}")
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error sending email: {e}")
        return False

Best Regards,

I went ahead and created #1190 so that Apprise attachments just work natively with the existing plugin (no need for extra sendgrid library overhead.

@caronc when is the next release build scheduled?

I want to try to sneak in a few more things, but hopefully this weekend or next.
