This topic explains how to set up a file action to send files using the email setup as defined for D365 F&SCM. For more information, refer to [Configure and send email](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/organization-administration/configure-email). For **D365 F&SCM email**, the direction is '**Target**'. After the message is run, an email is created using the defined email account, the created file in the **Working folder** is attached to the email, and the email is sent. The original file stays in the **Working** folder. If you want to zip the file before sending it by email, do a **Zip** file action before the **Email** file action. In this case, the zipped file is attached to the email. > [!NOTE] > Note > > You can set up file actions for these connector types: > > - **Azure file storage** > - **Azure File Storage (API)** > - **Azure Blob storage** > - **SharePoint** ### Steps 1. Click **Connectivity studio - Integration Design**. 2. Click the **Connectors** tab. 3. In the list, find and select the desired connector. 4. Click **Edit**. 5. You can export the connectivity setup and import it into another D365 F&SCM environment. For example, you first set up and test the connectivity setup in a development environment. When finished, you deploy the setup in your production environment. To protect your production data, use different file locations for your development or testing environment and for your production environment. To strictly distinguish between different environments, you can define unique file action properties for each of your environment types. So, each file action can have a different set of properties for each applicable environment type. Which file action properties are applicable to the current environment is defined in the **Environment type** field on the **Connectivity studio parameters**. **Example**: If set to **Development**, the file action properties, as defined for environment type **Development** are applicable. In the **Environment types** field, select an option. > [!NOTE] > **Note** > > For each file action, you can repeat the sub-tasks for each of your environment types. To set the environment-specific properties of a file action, only change the environment type, find the file action, and set the properties. So, do not create a new file action for each environment type. 6. Expand the **File action** section. 7. Click **New**. 8. In the **Name** field, type a value. 9. In the **File action** field, select **Email**. 10. Click **Save**. 11. In the **Direction** field, select **Target**. 12. You can (temporarily) disable a file action. Example: In a test setup, the setup to do the file action is not available. To prevent errors during test runs of the message, you disable the file action. In this way, you do not have to change or delete the file action. In the **Skip** field, select an option. 13. In the **Email sender** field, select **D365 F&SCM email**. 14. Click **Save**. 15. Define the email address that is used to send the email with the attached file. In the **Email** field, type a value. 16. Define the email address to which the email with the attached file must be sent. In the **Send-to address** field, type a value. 17. Enter the subject for the email to be sent with the attached file. In the **Email subject** field, type a value. 18. Enter the body text for the email to be sent with the attached file. In the **Email body** field, type a value. 19. Close the page.
