How do I attach a file or embed a file link in the Send Email function?

I see the attachments input in the Send Email function but it requires a number field, so what is this input field actually for?
I can't find any documentation to explain the point of this field.
Is it then possible to embed a hyperlink into the body of the email? Again I see no documentation on whether you can html format the body of the email…

John, you can put HTML in the body and it will render it wonderfully.
As far as the attachment goes, that’s the FileID for a document stored in our FilesAPI. The FilesAPI is well documented at developer.domo.com. The use of it in this function is not, and I apologize. If you have a form that includes an attachment, what’s returned is a number. That is the files location in the FilesAPI.
I agree this needs to be easier to figure out on your own. The team is working on ways to improve discoverability and documentation.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the quick reply.
The html formatting is working but the href for the link doesn't show, so there must be more to it than what I would expect from standard html formatting0
