"i have emailed you" vs "i emailed you the file"

In these examples, one sentence specifies that a particular file has been sent, while the other sentence does not indicate that anything other than the email itself has been sent. Both sentences are correct.

Last Updated: August 30, 2019

i have emailed you

This is correct

Use this sentence if you want to explain that you have sent someone an email message. You could also use the past tense instead of the present perfect.
