It would be helpful to see before sending an email (both marketing and 1:1 emails) if an attached file is too big to send. Currently the error doesn’t appear until after you send and then you get a separate notification telling you the email failed to send but you can’t see why without contacting Support. ---

Hi @ASidorakis, I don’t believe there’s a solution for this. [@Victor\_Becerra](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/620965) - Can this be moved over to the Ideas forum? ---

Hi @ASidorakis Thank your for posting and thanks @Josh for the helpful suggestion! I moved the post to the ideas Forum, I recommend upvoting it and sharing with other members, so the Product Team can take note. Best Victor ---

Thanks Victor! The HS Support Agent I spoke to earlier today linked the Community Forum, which is why I posted there to start. ---

This is such a small but essential idea. Sometimes our sales sends documents/brochures/images of our products to our leads. If we cannot increase the attachment size limit then at least provide us this warning so we can reduce file sizes or send a link instead as needed. Sometimes after sending emails, we may miss the fact it didn’t send and that the lead never received the email we thought we sent.
