1. Support for Including File Attachments in Optimizely Forms Submission Emails

   By default, Optimizely Forms do not send uploaded files as attachments in submission emails. Instead, the system provides links to the files stored in the Optimizely asset library. These links are only accessible to CMS-authenticated users, which limits their usability for external recipients.

   Custom Enhancement Possibility:
   It is currently possible to customize the SendEmailAfterSubmissionActor to include file attachments, as demonstrated in this community blog post: https://world.optimizely.com/blogs/kennyg/dates/2025/8/sending-email-with-attachments-with-optimizely-forms-in-2025/

   However, as stated in this blog post, this requires duplicating built-in logic, since SendEmailAfterSubmissionActor does not expose an integration point that allows developers to hook in and add attachments to the message.

   Proposed Improvement:
   Instead of requiring custom adjustments, it would be highly beneficial if Optimizely provided this capability out of the box. Native support for sending file attachments would reduce the need for ongoing custom maintenance and ensure compatibility with future platform updates, while improving the end-user experience.
