Blastula in RStudio Connect

Hi,

I am new to this and trying to create a solution based on the following use case:

  • To schedule an email based on R Markdown and to sent it to a LDAP group in a secure manner

I am planning to use Blastula to render email based on R Markdown BUT I am having issue on the secure part. I realize the email that is generated will come with a html attachment.

Question:

  1. Is this the default settings? If yes is there anyway we can disable it?
  2. Sending email with attachment is good BUT is there any way that we can limit user so that the attachment is not being forwarded?

Appreciate for your kind reply.
Thanks!

By default the HTML won't be attached to emails sent with blastula::attach_connect_email, but you can change this with the attach_output argument

  1. Sending email with attachment is good BUT is there any way that we can limit user so that the attachment is not being forwarded?

No, once an email is in an inbox, there is nothing Connect can do about how the contents are further distributed

Thanks for the reply.
Tested the argument and it works as expected.

Another question is, is there any other library that can run similar email function?
