Try this

firebase.firestore().collection('mail').add({
    to: id,
    message: {
        subject: 'Congratulation!',
        text: 'You Have been hired.',
        html: 'this is <code>HTML</code> code .',
        attachments: [
            {
                path: '/path/to/file.ext'
            },
        ]
    }
})

Here's a list of some examples how you'd attach your files

firebase.firestore().collection('mail').add({
    to: id,
    message: {
        subject: 'Congratulation!',
        text: 'You Have been hired.',
        html: 'this is <code>HTML</code> code .',
        attachments: [
            {   // utf-8 string as an attachment
                filename: 'text1.txt',
                content: 'hello world!'
            },
            {   // binary buffer as an attachment
                filename: 'text2.txt',
                content: new Buffer('hello world!','utf-8')
            },
            {   // file on disk as an attachment
                filename: 'text3.txt',
                path: '/path/to/file.txt' // stream this file
            },
            {   // filename and content type is derived from path
                path: '/path/to/file.txt'
            },
            {   // stream as an attachment
                filename: 'text4.txt',
                content: fs.createReadStream('file.txt')
            },
            {   // define custom content type for the attachment
                filename: 'text.bin',
                content: 'hello world!',
                contentType: 'text/plain'
            },
            {   // use URL as an attachment
                filename: 'license.txt',
                path: 'https://raw.github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/master/LICENSE'
            },
            {   // encoded string as an attachment
                filename: 'text1.txt',
                content: 'aGVsbG8gd29ybGQh',
                encoding: 'base64'
            },
            {   // data uri as an attachment
                path: 'data:text/plain;base64,aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ='
            },
            {
                // use pregenerated MIME node
                raw: 'Content-Type: text/plain\r\n' +
                    'Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n' +
                    '\r\n' +
                    'Hello world!'
            }
        ]
    }
})

[Here](https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/3568441-adding-a-calendar-ics-attachment-to-an-email) you can see an example of Manually Creating the Template as an attachment. Maybe this can work by using it on the last example of attachemen on my answer (the one that uses "raw")? — Daniel Guzman, Jul 16 '20 at 15:42
