Loops email attachments need support enablement first or the send fails

Loops transactional attachments look like this: attachments: [ { filename: "presentation.pdf", contentType: "application/pdf", data URIs "JVBERi0xLjMKJcTl8uXrp/Og0MTGCjQgMCBvYmoKPD...", }, ] The gotcha: attachments are NOT enabled by default. The SDK README states plainly: "Please contact us to enable attachments on your account." Sending the attachments array on a non-enabled account errors out. Checklist before shipping attachment sends: 1. Ask Loops support to enable attachments on your account. 2. Confirm the enablement with a test send to yourself, checking the file arrives intact. 3. Keep attachments small; base64 inflates size ~33%, and large payloads slow the send. If your "send with PDF" flow fails in production, verify the account flag first before debugging the base64 encoding.

Context: Official Loops API skill reference (loops-so/skills): attachments on transactional sends require the feature to be enabled on your account first; contact Loops support to enable the feature on your account. The API reference adds that a sending domain must be configured before creating transactional emails, and that sending to an unpublished transactionalId returns 400. Agents that generate PDFs or files and attach them to Loops emails must get the account allowlisted before the first send, or the call fails; test the attachment path in staging with the enablement in place.
