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.
Before you start
You must save your message as a draft before you can attach files. Attachments cannot be added to a new, unsaved message.

Supported file types
You can attach documents, images, PDFs, and spreadsheets.
