Since I've started using eM Client as my default mail app, the option to share pdf files via right-click menu is gone (see attached image).
I'm looking for a tutorial or instructions on how to add it to the menu via Automator Quick Action.
I have never used Automator before so I would appreciate elaborate posts. ;)
Big Sur 11.2.3 on Mac Mini M1.

Thanks in advance for help!

Well, you know how to start creating a Quick Action in Automator so you're almost there.

Workflow receives current = "files or folders"
in = "any application"

Image = "Share"
Color = whatever you want

Then drag the "Open Finder Item" action underneath and pick Open with: "eM Client". Save and name it something nice like "Share with eM Client".

So now if you right-click anything in the Finder the Quick Action submenu should have the new command. It will attach the file to a new email message in eM Client.

This works like a charm! I had no idea it's so simple. Thank you very very much!!
