**Solution**

The form archive is a file type process data. You can add it as a file attachment to a custom notification email template by using the following macro:

`<WF_PROCESS_INST_RELDATA_FILE.FORM_ARCHIVE>`

This macro will be automatically detected and replaced with a file attachment containing the form archive when sending email notifications.

The above post is missing the macro. Can you correct it.

You can use macro: \<WF\_PROCESS\_INST\_RELDATA\_VALUE.YOUR\_FILE\_PROCESS\_DATA\_NAME\> to attach the actual file type process data in your custom email as attachment (not a link)

Hence you can have the form archive html file as attachment if you add this tag:  
**\<WF\_PROCESS\_INST\_RELDATA\_VALUE.FORM\_ARCHIVE\>** at the bottom of your email template file.
