Send Messages with Attachments
You can attach documents, images, PDFs, or spreadsheets to messages sent through Cake's Communications tool. Attachments must be added after saving your message as a draft.
Recipients can view messages and attachments by logging into My Cake (the stakeholder portal). They'll receive an email notification, but must access the platform to see the full content.
