Hello,
I recently updated my self-hosted Metabase Open Source JAR from version 0.53.2 to 0.54.3. Since the upgrade, all alerts I receive by email only include CSV files. In the previous version (0.53.2), I was able to receive XLSX attachments by setting the include_xls column to true in the public.pulse_card table.
Could you please advise what steps I need to take in version 0.54.3 to restore XLSX attachments in my email alerts?
Hello there,
Attachments are only officially supported in Dashboard subscriptions. It was possible to hack around this by manually updating pulse_card.include_xls in Alerts, but in v54 this logic was moved into the notification/notification_card tables, which do not have the column "include_xls", so it stopped working.
There is a way to achieve something similar with dashboard subscriptions (you could create one-question dashboards) + attachments + the "Don’t send if there aren’t results" option. Would that work for your use case?
