Imagine a scenario where a business needs to automatically generate and send customer invoices at the end of each month. The invoices are generated from transaction data store in Snowflake, and customer receives an email with invoice attach as a CSV file. This use case requires a solution that can not only generate the invoices but handle email distribution with attachments.
