Salesforce provides different types of Email templates like Text template, HTML, Custom and Visualforce email template. The visualforce email template is a very powerful template type as we can create a custom Visualforce page and display it as an Email body. Along with this, it also provides flexibility of adding an attachment in the mail.

Please find below code snippet to demonstrate the same:

Visualforce template allows us to add an attachment of different types such as pdf, excel, csv or html file. The type of an attachment is specified using “renderAs” attribute. You can also specify the name of the file using “filename” attribute.

The result of the above code snippet looks like:

Email along with attachment

After opening up an attachment, it looks like:

Thus, we can send any file or document as an attachment along with mail using Visualforce email template.
