Umbraco Contour seem to have a bug when sending mail out with a file upload. You would expect to get a clickable link in the email, but instead Contour inserts the file location without domain – as plain text, making it rather useless. Of course you can see the uploaded file from “Entries” in Contour, but a better and expected UX would be to be able to click the link in the mail.
As for now, this can only be done by using the type “Send xslt transformed email” from “Workflows” in Contour. Using the below XSLT file will give you a clickable link with the filename, in your received email.
When creating a “Workflow”, simply choose the type “Send xslt transformed email” and choose the XSLT file below.
