Email attachment sent via button has no filename and no file extension (SeaTable 6.0 self-hosted)

Hardware or environment you use

Self-hosted SeaTable instance, Linux server (Docker-based setup)

SeaTable Edition/Version

  • SeaTable Enterprise (self-hosted) SeaTable Server 6.0

Describe the Problem / Question

We are using the “Send email” automation via a button. The email itself is sent successfully and reliably. However, when we attach a file field to the email:

  • The attachment arrives without a filename

  • The attachment has no file extension (suffix)

This happens consistently, independent of:

  • File type (PDF, DOCX, XLSX)

The file content itself is correct, but without a filename and suffix it is inconvenient for recipients and sometimes blocked by email clients.

Error Messages

  • No error messages in the UI

  • No visible errors in the logs related to email sending

Questions

  • Is this a known issue ?

  • Is there a solution (e.g. configuration option, naming field, or script)?

Any hints or confirmation would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

the same problem occurs also with email sending via automation rule.

This is no known issue and probably related to the mail service you use. Please try sending your mail via a different mail service.

Another hypothesis: Does your file name contain special characters? If yes, please try sending attachments using filenames without special characters.

you were right. :face_with_peeking_eye: thanks.

i don’t know why this problem occurs now, because I already used this email account for sending attachments. but with another mail address via exchange it works…
